Day, is our annual dinner to thank our friends in Agriculture! Dinner this year is sponsored by Wyffels Hybrids and features Beef Tri-Tip with all the trimmings! Each Des Moines Izaak Walton League member can bring up to two guests in Agriculture, who will then be treated to a FREE Dinner! Jeff's talk is FREE and Open to the Public, with doors opening at 5:30 and dinner available for purchase, serving at 6. About Jeff Lucas: Lucas views his role as an educator. That means engaging younger farmers with implementing conservation practices like cover crops and saturated buffers and getting them excited about the results. “It’s about taking care of your neighbors and getting the public to understand why these practices are important,” he says. “At the end of the day, we’re here to assist farmers to allow them to farm without hindering resources like clean water which affects everybody.”
