SUMMARY:EFAO Conference
DESCRIPTION:The annual EFAO Conference draws farmers and supporters from across the food system for two days of intensive learning\, idea-sharing\, networking and celebration with good food and friends. EFAO’s first province-wide in-person conference since 2019! \nRotational Grazing KSEs\nTools for Managing Pasture Using Nature’s Model for Ecological Sustainability \nNovember 29th\, 1:30-3:00pm \nHow do you know if your pasture is sustainable? Well\, is your sward readily grazed by stock and does it remain robust throughout the season? If you wondered if there was a typo or were tempted to google “sward\,” then you might learn something new in this session! E. Ann Clark suggests managing pasture in such a way as to offer “cheap feed” to animals\, meaning that she recommends diverse plantings of perennials that do not require mechanized maintenance. Ann sees the task of a grazier to be both identifying and implementing principles that sustain nature in food production and environmental management via grass-based farming. Sward genetics\, fertility\, and defoliation will all be discussed in this practical session for graziers. \nCover Cropping KSEs\nNitrogen Calculations for Cover Crops  \nNovember 29th\, 3:30-5:00pm \nJesse Way operates Milky Way Farm with his partner Meghan Brandenburg\, where they use cover crops as part of their management of 1.5 acres of ecologically-focused veg production. Jesse and Meghan conducted a research trial (as part of EFAO’s farmer-led-research program) to better understand how cover cropping was impacting their soil health. This trial was designed to investigate tools available to all farmers for addressing the challenge of predicting the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) contribution of organic amendments and cover crops in agroecosystems. At this session Jesse will go into detail about how to do biomass sampling from the field\, and how to make sense of the lab results using the free online calculator from Oregon State University. He will work through an example of predicting PAN\, and highlight the potential to reduce reliance on lab testing as a result of creating an on-farm database with potential for collaboration with other farms. \nNo-Till Potatoes: A Farmer Researcher Panel \nNovember 30th\, 10:30am-12:00pm \nNo-till production practices for potatoes might sound like an oxymoron for this hilling-intensive crop. Or is it? Join EFAO members and farmer-researchers Matt Jones\, Patti Charbaneau\, Rob Read\, and Ken Laing as they describe the methods they are trialing and the varieties they are working with to make organic no-till potato production a reality in Ontario. Some of these promising methods include use of spoiled hay\, woodchips\, compost\, and planting directly into a cover crop. \nGrowing Small Grains in Ontario: A speaker panel (part 2) \n\nNovember  29th\, 3:30-5:00pm\n\nPart 2 of this 2-part speaker panel focuses on an agronomy deep dive. Gather in this session to hear from farmers that have been learning in the literal field of growing small grains. We’ll get into the nitty gritty agronomic decisions that go into growing high-quality grains using ecological methods. We’ll talk about tillage\, timing\, fertility\, crop protection and all the tools an ecological farmer can use to get the most out of their small grains crops. We’ll also discuss mentorship in the grain growing community: who can we learn from\, and how? This farmer panel is made up of folks who have different ways of sourcing seed\, growing crops\, and marketing products with one thing in common: a passion for growing grain in a way that benefits the environment and their farms. Come to hear their unique perspectives on all things grain-growing. Bring your questions!\n\n\nFor more information about the conference (including the full agenda) and to register for one or both days\, visit https://efao.ca/efao-conference-2023/
