DESCRIPTION:March Manure Mondays 2025 Poster\n\n\n\nMARCH MANURE MONDAYS 2025 from 2pm-3pm (ET) \nMarch 10th – Fine-tuning Manure Nutrient Availability\nManure application can reduce fertilizer needs\, improve soil health and increase yields. Kirsten Workman and Quirine Ketterings (Cornell\, NY) will provide an overview of manure research that helped quantify the nitrogen replacement value from manure to determine MERN (most economic rate of N) as well as the impacts to microbial biomass for sites with and without manure. \nMarch 17th – In-crop application using 360 Rain to improve 4R practices\nHandling the dilute liquids that remain after solids separation is expensive and time consuming. Scott Shearer (Ohio State U) will discuss the opportunities of new technology like 360 Rain for in-crop application of manure liquids for improved 4R nutrient management\, water management yields in a value-enhanced circular economy. \nMarch 31st Application strategies to maximize N and reduce GHG losses in the field.\nNitrogen inhibitors help reduce N loss and nitrous oxide emissions for fertilizer\, but what about manure? Heather Darby (U of Vermont) and Debbie Aller will evaluate research results that compare application timing\, injection vs surface application\, use of biochar and other technologies that can reduce emissions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere?

SUMMARY:Making Pasture Work for Farmers with E. Ann Clark
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for all or part of the 5-part Program – These webinars are OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Events (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing category.\n\nWhy Attend?  \n\n\nLearn how to maximize net profits by minimizing inputs\nEnvision what pasture can do for you and for your land\, both on its own and as a service provider for the whole farm\nConnect with a community of farmers and landowners to share knowledge and solutions\n\n\nLearn from Ann Clark (academic and farmer)\, who is a widely-recognized expert. She began farming 14 years ago after more than 30 years as a professor at the University of Guelph. Her research and teaching focused on plant science\, especially grazing and pasture management. In her “retirement” she custom grazes beef and pastures poultry on her farm near Warkworth in Northumberland County.\n\n\nSession One: Making Roughland Pasture Work for Farmers\nMarch 13 | 7:00-8:30pm | Online\nPasture is the best\, if not the only economic use of non-arable land\, of which we have an abundance in Central Ontario. Yet pasture suffers from a PR problem. For those interested in net rather than in gross income – in making money by not spending money – managed grass is the ticket. During this webinar\, learn how two area graziers have displaced infrastructure and inputs with creative and profitable approaches to roughland grazing. Participants will receive presentation materials in advance to review and give time to raise questions/comments relating to their own farm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 2: Making Arable Pasture Work for Farmers\nMarch 20 | 7:00-8:30pm | Online\nAgriculture that degrades its own soil cannot claim to be sustainable. If you were tasked with designing a cropping system that not only increased net returns but also reversed soil quality decline\, what would it look like? Would perennial swards or grazing livestock play a central role? What is a grassland ley\, and which mixture might you want to plant? What services do pasture and livestock offer to whole farm management? This session will focus on answering these questions\, as illustrated with practical examples drawn from the farming community. Participants will receive presentation materials in advance to review and give time to raise questions/comments relating to their own farm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere? Online through Google Meet \n Visit the link to register! \nCost? Webinars are $45 each\, with additional package pricings to register for the entire 5-part Program. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Understanding Your Soil Test: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Taking soil tests both for nutrients and biology are important management techniques so that ecological farmers can increase yields\, improve crop quality\, reduce weed problems and improve soil health. Join Ken Laing for this free Member Month webinar to learn how to take a soil sample\, where to send it and help you understand the results when you get them back. You will leave with an understanding of what your nutrient and biological goals should be. \nJoin the second webinar where Ken will discuss what amendments and/or cover crops you might use to correct deficiencies you find. Learn more and register for Part 2 on March 25. \nBoth webinars will be relevant to growers of all sizes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKen Laing of Orchard Hill Farm has farmed with his wife Martha near St.Thomas since 1979 when he graduated from the University of Guelph with a B.Sc. in Agriculture. From 1979 until 1996 they produced pick-your-own fruit\, and they transitioned to organic in 1989. From 1997 until 2017 they operated a CSA for up to 250 members. Pasture has been a part of their farm rotation for 44 years in terms of draft horses and more recently since 2015 also with cattle and custom grazing.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen?

SUMMARY:Seeding Cover Crops using Drones
DESCRIPTION:Seeding Cover Crops with Drones Ad – Jay \nJoin us to hear agricultural experts talk about cover cropping using drones based on their experiences and research. \n\nPlease note that the OFCAF program guide for the upcoming cover cropping intake is not currently available. As program details are subject to possible change between intakes\, the KSE opportunity is meant to share broad knowledge on cover cropping techniques. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? Friday\, March 28 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM \nWhere? Online via Zoom \n Visit the link to reserve your spot! \n  \nSeeding Cover Crops using Drones is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category. \n

SUMMARY:March Manure Mondays
DESCRIPTION:March Manure Mondays 2025 Poster\n\n\n\nMARCH MANURE MONDAYS 2025 from 2pm-3pm (ET) \nMarch 10th – Fine-tuning Manure Nutrient Availability\nManure application can reduce fertilizer needs\, improve soil health and increase yields. Kirsten Workman and Quirine Ketterings (Cornell\, NY) will provide an overview of manure research that helped quantify the nitrogen replacement value from manure to determine MERN (most economic rate of N) as well as the impacts to microbial biomass for sites with and without manure. \nMarch 17th – In-crop application using 360 Rain to improve 4R practices\nHandling the dilute liquids that remain after solids separation is expensive and time consuming. Scott Shearer (Ohio State U) will discuss the opportunities of new technology like 360 Rain for in-crop application of manure liquids for improved 4R nutrient management\, water management yields in a value-enhanced circular economy. \nMarch 31st Application strategies to maximize N and reduce GHG losses in the field.\nNitrogen inhibitors help reduce N loss and nitrous oxide emissions for fertilizer\, but what about manure? Heather Darby (U of Vermont) and Debbie Aller will evaluate research results that compare application timing\, injection vs surface application\, use of biochar and other technologies that can reduce emissions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere? Online through Zoom \n  \n Visit the link to register! \n  \nMarch Manure Monday sessions for March 10\, 17 and 31st  is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.  \n
