Iowa Farm Bureau will be hosting a free, two-part webinar series, “Farm to Table Boot Camp,” featuring Texas-based Rachel Williams Cutrer of Ranch House Designs, Inc. and B.R. Cutrer, Inc.

Taking on the challenge of improving Iowa’s water quality and protecting soil has long been a priority for Mark Jackson, who farms outside of Oskaloosa with his son, Michael. Jackson, an Iowa Farm Bureau member from Rose Hill, was named the 2020 Iowa Conservation Farmer of the Year for his wide-ranging conservation efforts and decades-long commitment to promoting conservation education and sharing his experiences and success stories with fellow farmers.

This year the 2020 Young Farmer Advisory Committee is led entirely by young women.
