Lightning is powerful, focused, illuminating and over fast. For our 2023 PFI annual conference, we are bringing back lightning talks to our session offerings.

As the name suggests, lightning talks are short, focused and, hopefully, exciting to watch! We know many of you are evaluating new practices or have figured out a process that would be nice to share with others. And we know some of you don’t want to talk for an hour. How about 8 minutes?

If you’d like to deliver a lightning talk during the conference, we want to hear from you! Please let us know using this form and we’ll follow up.

Iowa producers Emily Fagan and Hannah Breckbill of Humble Hands Harvest, and Jon Yagla of The Millet Seed farm, wished to sharpen their understanding of the optimum time to plant spinach for overwintering.

They compared yield and harvest windows of overwintered spinach planted on three fall dates.
