I had the pleasure of spending the day out in the field with the Glazik Family at Cow Creek Organic Farm in Paxton. The day began with a comprehensive Grain Handling and Quality tour, where we were able to see firsthand the systems they use to ensure top-quality grain production. One of the most interesting parts of the tour was the discussion around livestock integration and how animals are used in harmony with the crop rotation to improve soil health and sustainability.
Overall, the day was not only educational but also a wonderful reminder of the innovation and collaboration happening right here in our district. I am grateful to the Glazik Family and all who participated for their hospitality and for sharing their knowledge and passion for sustainable farming and local food systems.
