Optimizing Nitrogen Efficiency in Dairy Systems
July 18, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Join OSCIA, Soils at Guelph and the County of Wellington for a drop-in event on July 18 to learn more about the research underway at Harrcroft Acres Ltd. through the Living Lab – Ontario project.
Janet Harrop, dairy farmer and living lab cooperator, is collaborating with Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle from the University of Guelph to conduct innovative research at the field scale. The research focuses on finding ways to enhance nitrogen efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions using 4R best management practices, including nitrogen stabilizers and different application methods of liquid dairy manure.
Registration is required. Please visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/optimizing-nitrogen-efficiency-a-systems-approach-to-dairy-production-tickets-927491882187 to register.
Registrants are encouraged to drop in for presentations starting at 6:30 pm or 7:30 pm. Light refreshments will be provided.
Living Lab – Ontario is a five-year innovation project that brings together farmers, organizations, researchers, and other experts to co-develop, test, and evaluate beneficial management practices (BMPs) that address climate change challenges in livestock and cropping systems.
For more information, please contact livinglab@ontariosoilcrop.org.
Funding for the project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada under the Agricultural Climate Solutions – Living Labs program (ACS-CA-15) and by the following partners: Beef Farmers of Ontario, Dairy Farmers of Ontario, Grain Farmers of Ontario, Ontario Federation of Agriculture, Ontario Pork and Ontario Sheep Farmers. The project is coordinated by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association.
