Get ready for our third and final stop on the Virtual Farm Tour!

This summer CCI is heading to the farm! Well, kind of. We’re hosting a virtual farm tour series, and we want you to join us!

The future of Iowa does not need to be one of CO2 pipelines and water pollution. Solutions to the problem we face are all around us, including on our farms!

We’re hosting this virtual farm tour to uplift real people who are implementing real solutions on their farms.

Join us on Thursday, August 14 at 6:00pm on Zoom!

Thus far we’ve learned about restoring native grasslands and cover crops as solutions to soil health, water quality and climate change.

Whether or not you were able to join our first stops on the tour, I hope you’ll join us for our final stop this summer to learn about pasture management!

Thursday August 14 from 6-7:30pm – Episode 3: Rotational Grazing and combating climate change!

Featuring: John Hogeland

John Hogeland moved back to Lovilia, Iowa, from California with his wife, Beth Hoffman, to take over as the fifth generation on the family farm. With a background as a butcher and chef, John has transitioned 570 acres of the farm to a grass-fed cattle and goat operation. They use rotational grazing practices and are continuing to add native forages to their system.

It’s going to take all of us to create a better food and farm system – one that works for farmers, workers, eaters, and the environment.

RSVP for the 2025 Virtual Farm Tour today!

For a solution-filled future,
Caitlin Golle
Community Organizer
