Marbleseed Conference 2025 - Presentations

The Diverse Corn Belt project is a multi-institutional and transdisciplinary project studying diversification beyond corn and soybeans in the U.S. Corn Belt. This panel will highlight the experiences of several organic grain farmers involved with the DCB project, drawing on why they grow the crops they do, challenges and successes they have experienced, and a Q&A session with the audience. We will also provide an update on the DCB project including results from field trials on the agronomic impacts of diversified rotations, market opportunities, and key barriers and opportunities for diversification in row crop systems broadly.
