Yard Tour at Gary Martens 

We were treated to a fascinating evening of “ag-talk” and hospitality at Gary & Patricia Martens’ Kleefeld farm on September 9th. Highlights included an overview of the retired U of M professor's thriving garden, discussion about the role of livestock in sustainable farming, and an exchange of our own experiences with growing our own food. It was a great opportunity for amateurs and seasoned agronomists to benefit from Gary's hands-on knowledge. A big thank you to Pat & Gary for their hospitality!
