Partner
Practical Farmers of Iowa
David Rosmann operates Rosmann Family Farms in Harlan, Iowa, with his wife Becky and their two daughters, Maggie and Ellie, his parents Ron and Maria and other family members. Their 700-acre certified organic farm is a mixture of field crops, pasture, popcorn, small grains and hay as well as cattle and hogs.At this field day, you’ll learn how the Rosmanns manage pasture outside of grazing periods. David will discuss the cool- and warm-season planting mixes that accompany each grazing period. He’ll share how the farm lowers its overall inputs by composting manure. You’ll also hear how the Rosmanns seed rotational cover crops, such as hybrid rye, for livestock feed and as a supplement for cattle and hogs.
