Hello Everyone,
We’ve had some nice, warm, fall weather for harvesting and field work. The dryness helped to prevent soil damage from compaction. No mud is good!
We invite you to our annual meeting being held Thursday, December 1st at St. John’s Parish Hall in Woodslee. This will also be an Ontario On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) knowledge sharing event and will cover such topics as cover crops, nitrogen, rotational grazing and more. There will also be information on grant possibilities. Pre-registration is required using the following link: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/essex-scia-annual-meeting-tickets-465692969207
We will also be introducing Colin Elgie, our new OMAFRA Soil Fertility Specialist who will be based out of the Ridgetown office. Other interesting guest speakers are also on the agenda. Registration will be at 8:30 A.M. and the meeting will follow at 9:00 A.M. We hope to see you there!
We are looking for new, possible younger directors for the coming years, as well.
Happy Holidays to all.
Marc Rivest, President ESCIA
