Do you know a farm that would be a good fit for a Case Study? Part of the "
Match Made In Heaven" project is to do in-depth studies of 6 Upper Midwest farms that have successfully integrated crops & livestock, in order to highlight real-life examples and create some best-practice suggestions. Our ideal farm:
- is successfully practicing integrated crops and livestock, standalone or by partnering
- has reasonably organized financial records
- is at least a hundred acres, ideally larger
Selected farms will be asked to fill out an interview template, then to host our interviewer for a few hours of farm-tour & in-person interview, and lastly to be available for a follow-up call if we need to clarify anything. We're also hoping to host field days on each farm in 2024, but that's not mandatory. There is a $600 stipend for each farm, plus additional if they are the site of a field day.
If you know of any farms that might fit this bill please let us know! Thank you very much!
