SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Seeding Red Clover After Wheat
DESCRIPTION:Farm Tour: Seeding Red Clover After Wheat\nDate: Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026\nTime: 9:00 am – 11:30 am\nDean Orr is opening his fields near King City for a morning on red clover seeded after winter wheat. \nWe’ll walk the stand and talk through what Dean is seeing — how the clover established\, where it sits in his rotation\, and what he’d do differently next time. This is a straightforward look at a rotation decision a lot of wheat growers are weighing\, from a farmer who has run it. \nFrom the field we move to saving seed to seed. Dean will take us through the cleaning process and the equipment behind it — the step that usually happens out of sight\, and the one most people have never watched up close. \nThe morning wraps with a light lunch and time to talk shop with other growers working through the same questions. \nWhat we’ll cover \n\nRed clover fields planted after winter wheat harvest — establishment\, stand quality\, and how it fits the rotation\nSaving seed to seed\, including the seed cleaning process and equipment\nOpen discussion and networking over a light lunch\n\nDetails \n\nWhen: Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026 · 9:00 – 11:30 am ET\nWhere: 12740 Mill Road\, King City\, ON L7B 1K4\nCost: Free — light lunch included\nRegistration: Required. We need a headcount for lunch and space.\n\nFor More information and to register\, please click HERE \n\nPartnership and accreditation \nThis event is offered in partnership with Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM). \nIt is also an OSCIA Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE). If you have an On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) project in the Cover Crops category\, attending counts toward your Knowledge Sharing requirement.

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:From Sky to Soil: Drone Innovation Changing the Way We Farm
DESCRIPTION:Curious about drones on the farm? Come see how they’re changing the game—from cover crop seeding to capturing crop data and spraying with precision. We’ll show you how one drone gathers info from the field\, and another follows up with a live demo\, applying a custom prescription based on that data. It’s a hands-on look at how smart tech can save time\, cut costs\, and boost results. Don’t miss it! \nPRESENTATIONS: \nCover Crops from the Sky: What Works\, What Doesn’t\nJoin Jake Munroe\, Soil Management Specialist (Field Crops) OMAFA in the field for a boots-on-the-ground (and drones-in-the-air) look at aerial seeding in action. We’ll dive into the best crop staging for aerial seeding of cover crops—right where it’s happening\, with a demo into standing soybeans. You’ll see early results from last season’s drone seeding efforts\, with photos and insights on what influenced success\, including surface residue\, tillage systems\, and more. We’ll also compare the pros and cons of drone seeding versus traditional methods like drilling or broadcasting. If all goes well\, we’ll even take a peek at a cover crop seeded earlier this season and already growing beneath the canopy. It’s a chance to see what’s working\, what still needs tweaking\, and how aerial seeding might fit into your own system. \n  \nAerial Insights. Clear Results.\nAfter we see how drone cover crops work\, Andres Hurtado\, MBA\, Founder and CEO – Terranova UAV will take us through a live demonstration that brings the future of agriculture into focus. This dynamic event showcases how drone technology is transforming the way we manage crops—from data capture to precision application. You’ll follow the full journey: watch as aerial data is collected in real time\, see how it’s processed into actionable insights\, and witness a programmed sprayer drone apply treatments with pinpoint accuracy. Learn how targeted applications—based on aerial prescriptions—can reduce input costs\, increase efficiency\, and drive better results in the field.

SUMMARY:Canada's Outdoor Farm Show - Cover Crops from the Sky
DESCRIPTION:Curious about drones on the farm? Come see how they’re changing the game. \nDrones offer the opportunity to seed into moist soils that could not otherwise be trafficked\, to capture an extra month or more of warm growing conditions in early fall\, and to leverage specialized custom operators during an otherwise busy period. We’ll explore the best crop staging for aerial seeding—complete with a look at early-season results\, and side-by-side comparisons with traditional seeding methods. Join us to see how smart tech can save time\, cut costs\, and boost results. Don’t miss it! \nDate(s): Sept 9. 10\, and 11 \nTime(s): 11 am Daily \nWhere? In front of OSCIA  tent (very end of 6th lane south) booth S-610 \nAttendees will need to purchase a ticket to Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show to attend this event. \nCanada’s Outdoor Farm Show – Cover Crops from the Sky is an OSCIA recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category.
