Market - Sustainable Farming in Minnesota
Channel: MySPNN
Date: 12/09/2012

The Hubmer family farm is a small 6th generation farm located on the open prairie in southern Minnesota. Their Prairie Pride Farm sustainably raises Berkshire Pork and Pasture raised chickens without the use of antibiotics, growth hormones, animal bi-products or drugs. They grow their own Non-GMO conventional corn, using no-till and ridge till conservation practices, then grind the corn into feed themselves for their Berkshire pigs and supplement feed for the pasture raised chickens. They were awarded the Conservation Stewardship Grant, from USDA, for their farming practices in 2010.
SPNN and Market host Jill Jones traveled to Mankato, MN to see their operation firsthand.
