ION had a busy August hosting Farmer to Farmer Field days! Now that September is here, we are excited for fall and what we have planned🍂

A look into our Indiana Organic Forage Field Day in Northern Indiana!

We have linked up with @diversecornbelt to offer three field tour opportunities in August to showcase what diverse agriculture looks like right here in Indiana. Save the Dates - registration information coming soon!

We are hanging out with the @diversecornbelt team today at the @AcresUSA Farm Weird field day at Jason Mauck's near Gaston, IN!

ION soil health reports will be released to organic growers in Indiana soon!

Mike has an awesome agenda put together for this event! Free to attend with the support of @GreatHarvestOrg - hope to see you there!

It's #NationalPollinatorMonth–time to celebrate Indiana’s 400-plus species that contribute to everything from aster to apples to almond butter! From honeybees, hummingbirds, beetles and butterflies, @PurdueExtension shares how to protect our pollinators. extension.purdue.edu/news/2025/06/w…

Do you know what’s in your soil? It’s important to understand soil health and how organic practices impact microbial processes and subsoil characteristics!

The Indiana Small Farm Conference and Indiana Horticulture Conference are merging into one event, March 3-5, 2026! We want your input - what topics should we make sure to cover? Provide feedback here: vegcropshotline.org/article/shape-…
