SUMMARY:Profitable Pastures: Getting Started on Rotational Grazing (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now open for the 2024 Profitable Pastures webinar series! The Ontario Forage Network has three excellent speakers lined up to help you get the most out of your pasture.

Joe’s talk aims to address that gap. \nFor more information or to register\, visit https://onforagenetwork.ca/ontario-forage-council/profitable-pastures/  \nNote: These sessions must be attended live in order to qualify as a Knowledge Sharing Event.

SUMMARY:What is the “right rate” of N\, and how should we determine it? (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A key facet in “right rate” is determining an appropriate yield goal. Instead of getting lost in the never-ending quest for maximum yield\, consider goals that are in the producer’s best interest\, provide maximum profit\, deliver maximum benefit\, and acknowledge other sources of N to the crop. We’ll discuss how these factors of making N fertilizer recommendations are the future of climate-smart agriculture. \nThis webinar has been organized by the American Society of Agronomy in collaboration with Farmers for Climate Solutions. \nSpeaker:\nDavid Burton\, Director\, Centre for Sustainable Soil Management\, Department of Plant\, Food\, and Environmental Sciences\, Dalhousie University \nRegister here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5276364323905798237 \nNote: This session must be attended LIVE to qualify as a KSE.
