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?

They also have a robust organic vegetable production\, raise pastured chicken and pork\, and have an active on-farm store. Her tour will include a look at her current production systems and crop rotations; including cover crop strategies to boost productivity\, and a conversation about lessons learned and scaling different types of production. \nFollowing the tour and KSE session\, participants can enjoy their packed picnic lunch before travelling to Twig and Brindille. \nIn the afternoon we will visit Twig & Brindille Flower Farm for a contrasting take on cut flower farming on a smaller scale. Annabel Por has been farming her 3 acre parcel since 2020 and practicing no-till techniques since the beginning.
