SUMMARY:Managing Nitrogen with Gerard Grubb
DESCRIPTION:Managing Nitrogen with Gerard Grubb\nJune 18 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm \nGerard Grubb farms with a low-till approach on a corn-soybean-wheat rotation near Walkerton. On June 18\, he’s opening his farm to walk through what he’s learning about nitrogen management — including results from his 2025 strip trials and what he has planned for 2026. \nWhat’s on the agenda: \n\nAdaptive Nitrogen Trials. OSN\, EFAO\, and FCS have partnered with farmers to run replicated strip trials on working farms. Gerard shares what his 2025 trial showed about nitrogen rate\, yield\, and profitability in corn following a cover crop — and how he’s taking it further in 2026.\nUpside Robotics — in the field. Upside is testing autonomous robots designed to increase the number of nitrogen splits\, potentially improving nitrogen efficiency and cutting labour. Come see them running.\nIn-field discussions and demonstrations (and coffee).\n\nMeet at Gerard’s shop — we’ll carpool to the field together. \nFree to attend. Open to all. For more information and to register CLICK HERE \nOrganized by Ontario Soil Network in partnership with EFAO\, FCS\, and Upside Robotics. \n*This event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP category Nitrogen Management.

SUMMARY:Field Day at Franklin Farm: Trials\, Transitions\, and Trade-offs
DESCRIPTION:Field Day at Franklin Farm: Trials\, Transitions\, and Trade-offs\n\n \n\n\nThursday June 18 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Online via Zoom – link will be sent to registrants\n\n\n\n\nLocated just five minutes from Lake Huron\, the 100-acre Franklin Farm consists of 50 arable acres\, 25 acres of pasture\, and a 25-acre riparian zone surrounding a creek and small waterways. Tom and Christine focus on managing the property’s diverse ecology with the help of a small cow calf herd and a 12-paddocks rotational grazing system. The arable acres are dedicated to growing organic grains and cover crops that continue to build the soil health across soil types that vary from heavy clay to sand. \nThis is a splendid opportunity to share insights into balancing a steep learning curve and a tight budget with a steadfast commitment to ecological health. \nCome dig into the nitty-gritty of small-scale farming\, including: \n\nThe Organic Transition: Navigating the organic certification process.\nRotational Grazing: Managing systems for cow-calf herds\, including fencing\, and water logistics.\nLessons in Cover Cropping: Discover what’s worked for soil health and what didn’t work for logistically.\nSmall-Scale Grains: Practical advice on marketing\, storage\, and choosing the right equipment without breaking the bank.\nKernza (Perennial wheat): Looking towards seed bulking for a future farmer-led research trial.\nOrganic No-Till soybeans: Find out how the first time planting soybeans into cereal rye is going.\nFarming for Biodiversity: Practical strategies for protecting Bobolink and Meadowlark nesting sites while maintaining a grazing rotation.\n\nIn the field: We’ll walk the fields to see the newly planted no-till organic soybeans\, check in on the winter wheat\, and observe the cow-calf herd during their early pasture rotation. \n\nJoin us for an afternoon at the Franklin farm as Tom shares the lessons from his early years of farming. For more information and to register\, CLICK HERE. \n*This event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP categories of Rotational Grazing and Cover Cropping \n
