SUMMARY:Grazing for Grain Growers: You Don't Need Livestock with Lyndsey Smith VIRTUAL
DESCRIPTION:Grazing for Grain Growers: You Don’t Need Livestock with Lyndsey Smith\n\n\nTuesday\, July 7 @ 9:30 PM EST [7:30 PM CST] \n\nWhat if you could get the soil health benefits of grazing without owning a single animal? \nThis webinar explores exactly that. Join SaskSoil for a conversation with Lyndsey Smith\, agriculture communicator (RealAgriculture) and co-founder of Shady Creek Lamb Co. Lyndsey and her partner Chris Moore have spent nine seasons grazing utility-scale solar sites across Ontario — and four years working with grain farmers to extend the grazing season well into winter using grain ground. The results have been a win for both the land and the producers involved. \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/EtozmasNSjGmQXIB8QWWzQ#/registration \n\n*this live webinar event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP category Rotational Grazing \nPlease note\, if a recording becomes available following the event\, viewing the recording will not be eligible towards KSE credit.

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

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:Webinar: Sowing solutions: Why these cover cropping BMPs? / Solutions d’ensemencement Pourquoi avoir choisi ces PGB s’appliquant aux cultures de couverture?
DESCRIPTION:Join Farmers for Climate Solutions for a 60-minute free webinar where we will dive into the science and benefits of cover cropping. \n\n\n\nHow cover crops sequester carbon (and benefit your farm in other ways too) \nCover crops are helping farms improve soil health\, manage nutrients\, and build resilience\, but what processes are driving these changes in the field? In this webinar\, farmers and researchers will walk through the processes by which cover crops sequester carbon\, what we know about their impact on nitrous oxide emissions\, and how species selection and management decisions shape these outcomes. We’ll also explore the broader on-farm benefits that are motivating adoption across Canada. \n— \nVoici comment les cultures de couverture séquestrent le carbone (et procurent d’autres avantages à votre ferme) \nLes cultures de couverture contribuent à améliorer la santé des sols\, à gérer les nutriments et à renforcer la résilience. Or\, quels sont les processus à l’origine de ces changements dans les champs ? Lors de ce webinaire\, des agriculteur·rice·s et des chercheur·se·s décriront les processus par lesquels les cultures de couverture séquestrent le carbone\, les effets de ces processus sur les émissions d’oxyde nitreux\, ainsi que la manière dont les choix en matière d’espèces végétales et de méthodes de gestion influencent les résultats de ces processus. Ils présenteront également les avantages plus généraux des cultures de couverture pour les fermes\, ces avantages favorisant leur adoption à travers le Canada.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen?

SUMMARY:Guelph Organic Conference: Organic vs Inorganic Nitrogen: What every organic farmer needs to know
DESCRIPTION:The way in which plants detect\, take up and utilise different forms of nitrogen is of fundamental importance to all farmers but the specific benefits of organic vs inorganic nitrogen sources is of particular importance to organic farmers. Organic forms of nitrogen are less leaky and more stable in the soil but when taken up by the plant\, organic forms are more metabolically efficient than inorganic forms – in other words – plants require less energy to process and make use of organic forms of nitrogen. This has major implications for biomass production (yield)\, nitrogen demand and nitrogen use efficiency\, presenting a critical opportunity for organic farmers to manage nitrogen in a more targeted and efficient way. Is nitrogen really such a limitation in organic systems when organic forms are in dominant supply to the plant? Does the natural process of atmospheric N-fixation supply organic or inorganic N to the plant? Does a pound of N simply equal a pound of N? There is much more to the nitrogen story and this presentation will answer these important questions and take a deep dive into all things nitrogen nutrition.\n \n  \nJoel Williams is an independent plant and soil health educator and consultant who has worked extensively in Australia\, Europe and Canada where he is currently based. He has a keen interest in soil health\, plant nutrition and plant and soil microbiomes and how these may support the development of sustainable production systems. Joel has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science specialising in plant and soil dynamics and an MSc in Food Policy where he explored motivations and barriers to the adoption of intercropping. Joel has a passion for teaching and sharing a combination of scientific and practical information and has lectured to farming audiences internationally. \nRegister for the Session \nGuelph Organic Conference: Organic vs Inorganic Nitrogen: What every organic farmer needs to know is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.

SUMMARY:Guelph Organic Conference: Building Soil Health in Organic Grain Production using Ecological Systems Strategies
DESCRIPTION:This full day intensive with Dr. Erin Silva\, Professor of Organic and Sustainable Cropping Systems at the University of Wisconsin Madison\, will explore practical\, research based strategies for building soil health in organic field crop systems. Drawing on long term trials with cover crops\, organic no till and reduced tillage\, Dr. Silva will share how farmers can use crop rotations and cover crops to regenerate their soils while keeping weeds in check. \nThe session will cover systems-based approaches to weed management that integrate cover crop selection\, timing and termination with mechanical tools such as  roller crimpers. Participants will learn how practices like planting soybeans or other cash crops into rolled cereal rye can provide season long weed suppression and protect soil health\, as well as the trade offs and management details that make these systems succeed on farm.  By the end of the day\, farmers will be better equipped build soil health using cover crops and Integrate weed management into whole farm rotation planning \n  \nDr. Erin Silva is an Associate Professor and State Extension Specialist in Organic and Sustainable Cropping Systems at UW-Madison. She has built an internationally recognized program focused on improving organic production\, soil health\, and cover crop based systems. Her work supports the profitability and sustainability of organic farmers. \nRegister for the Session \nGuelph Organic Conference: Building Soil Health in Organic Grain Production using Ecological Systems Strategies is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping and Nitrogen Management category.
