SUMMARY:Profitability of Soil Health Day
DESCRIPTION:Healthy soils don’t just grow better crops — they can strengthen your bottom line. Join us at the Brigden Fairgrounds for a full day on how soil health connects to farm profitability\, with farmers sharing what’s actually worked on their own ground. \nWhat you’ll take away: \n• Farmers talking honestly about the benefits healthy soils have brought to their operations\n• Cover crops and their role in building and maintaining soil health\, with Laura Van Eerd\, professor of sustainable soil management at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown campus\n• How soil sampling can be used as a practical tool\, with Derrick Leclair\, CCA\n• A stop at a nearby demonstration farm to see it in the field \nLunch is included — registration is required to reserve your spot (and your lunch). \nPresented in partnership with the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority and the Ontario Soil Network. \nThis event is offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) and is an OSCIA Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Crops Category. \nRegistration: https://ontariosoil.net/event/profitability-of-soil-health-day \n

SUMMARY:Field Day on Manitoulin Island at Three Forks Farms & Martin Farms
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an in-person field day featuring tours of two outstanding farms on Manitoulin Island. \nWe will start the morning at Three Forks Farms – a certified organic farm owned and operated by Peggy Baillie and Eric Blondin. Since establishing their farm in Northern Ontario\, Peggy and Eric have been committed to producing high-quality food while caring for the land\, supporting biodiversity\, and helping build a strong local food system. The farm produces a wide range of vegetables and raises chicken for direct sale to customers in northern Ontario. \nThe day will begin with a tour of the farm and gardens\, where Peggy and Eric will share how they work with the land and the changing seasons to produce healthy\, nutritious\, and high-quality food. We will also visit the on-farm store and learn how direct farm-gate sales have shaped their operation. \nBiosecurity Notice: All participants will be required to complete a boot wash at Three Forks Farm before the farm tour. \n  \nFollowing the tour\, participants can enjoy their packed picnic lunch at Three Forms Farms before travelling to Martin Farms. \n  \nIn the afternoon we will visit Martin Farms\, which is owned and operated by the Martin family (Jim\, Birgit\, Nick and Alex) and is dedicated to producing exceptional beef while caring for both their cattle and the land. On the farm\, they raise both traditional grain-fed and grass-fed beef and their approach is the same for both: a great breeding program for their cattle\, dry-aging their beef\, raising cattle as naturally as possible\, and being very picky about quality control. Join us for a behind-the-scenes tour to see how these practices are implemented on the farm\, tour their pastures and learn how they manage feed and pastures to produce high-quality beef. \n  \nAgenda for the day: \n10:00 am – 12:00 pm: Farm tour at Three Forks Farms. \n12:00 pm – 12:50pm: A lunch break will take place between tours. Participants are encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch to eat at Three Forks Farms. \n12:50pm – 1:30pm: After lunch\, participants will drive to Martin Farms (approximately 36min drive) \n1:30 pm – 3:30 pm: Tour of Martin Farms. \n  \nFunding support for this event has been provided by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario. \nThis event is also offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing Category.. \nPlease visit the EFAO event website to register.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Grazing cover crops Partnerships in practice / Pâturage des cultures de couverture : des partenariats en action
DESCRIPTION:Join Farmers for Climate Solutions for a 60-minute free webinar. \nAre you a rotational grazer looking for more options to extend your grazing season? Or are you a cash cropper looking to get more value from your cover crops or crop residue? Join FaRM’s webinar for a practical conversation on how cover crop–livestock grazing partnerships actually work\, with a focus on logistics\, coordination\, and keys to making these arrangements a win-win. Hear lessons learned from farmer panellists in Ontario and Manitoba who’ve put these partnerships into practice. Our two panellists: – Mike Swidersky\, Ontario Sheep Farmer\, Riverview Ranch Meat Co. – Marika Dewar-Norosky\, Manitoba Grain and Beef Farmer and Executive Director of Manitoba Organics \n—————————————————————————– \nÊtes-vous un·e producteur·rice pratiquant le pâturage en rotation à la recherche de plus d’options qui vous permettraient de prolonger la saison de pâturage? Ou êtes-vous un·e producteur·rice de cultures commerciales cherchant à valoriser vos cultures de couverture ou vos résidus de culture? Dans un cas comme dans l’autre\, assistez au webinaire du Programme MFR pour comprendre comment fonctionnent les systèmes combinant les cultures et le pâturage du bétail. Lors de ce webinaire mettant l’accent sur les aspects pratiques\, vous en apprendrez davantage sur la logistique\, la coordination et les secrets qui vous permettront de tirer tout le parti de ces combinaisons qui sont bénéfiques à la fois pour votre exploitation et pour l’environnement. Venez écouter nos panélistes parler des leçons qu’ils ont tirées en mettant ces combinaisons de pratiques en œuvre. Nos deux panélistes : – Mike Swidersky\, éleveur de moutons de l’Ontario\, Riverview Ranch Meat Co. – Marika Dewar-Norosky\, productrice de céréales et de bœufs du Manitoba et directrice générale de Manitoba Organics. Ce webinaire se déroulera en anglais; un service d’interprétation en français sera également offert. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? August 20 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \nSowing solutions: Why these cover cropping BMPs? is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category.
