Joia Food Farms near Charles City is hosting a perennial-centric field day in early September.

Growers will be eligible for conservation payments and dedicated technical assistance.

The live webinars will pair University of Minnesota researchers and extension professionals with farmers who have trialed these crops on-farm.

Minnesota organizations can now apply for a grant of up to $50,000 to help develop enterprises, supply chains, and markets for continuous living cover crops and cropping systems.

This free, in-person meeting will feature updates on new perennial and winter annual crop opportunities for farmers, including technical and financial support available.
