Agroforestry Tour
The 2015 Central Iowa Agroforestry Tour has something for everyone. Five stops are scheduled focusing on alternative crops including aronia berry and hazelnuts, and agroforestry practices such as riparian forest buffers, silvopasture, and livestock buffers. Finally, no agroforestry tour is complete without talking about marketing your nuts, berries, beef, or property. Enjoy a day filled with adventure and inspiration while traveling in deluxe motor-coach accommodations.
