SUMMARY:Exploring Agro-Ecological Benefits of Rotational Grazing (Bruce County)
DESCRIPTION:Join OSCIA for an informative pasture walk and presentation and explore the agro-ecological benefits of integrated practices like rotational grazing and cover cropping\, such as improved biodiversity and species at risk habitat protection\, enhanced soil and water quality\, nutrient cycling and mitigating net greenhouse gas emissions. \nPeter Kotzeff is a beef veterinarian and farmer who owns and manages over 2000 acres of cropland\, pasture and protected woodland\, wetland\, and riverbanks in Bruce County – much of which is considered marginal land with irregular sloped fields. By integrating intensive (or strip) cattle grazing\, minimal tillage\, cover crops and sensible crop rotation\, Peter has observed improved soil structure\, greater nutrient availability\, and a healthier river. \nParticipants will also hear from: \n\nAndrew Campomizzi\, Research Scientist\, Birds Ecology Conservation Ontario\nKim Schneider\, Assistant Professor in Forage and Service Crops\, University of Guelph\n\nTo learn more or to register\, visit https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/exploring-agro-ecological-benefits-of-rotational-grazing-tickets-679475618867 \nQuestions can be directed to SARFIP@ontariosoilcrop.org. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Cover Cropping Strategies for Market Gardeners
DESCRIPTION:Cover crops are a key component of building soil health\, cycling nutrients\, and practicing ecological and regenerative agriculture – but it takes some learning to find the right cover cropping mixes\, timing\, termination strategies\, and rotations for your context. Join EFAO at Field Good Farms for a full-day tour and workshop to hear what strategies work for them and learn how you might incorporate more cover crops into your garden rotation. \nFor more details\, including an agenda and registration information\, visit: https://efao.ca/event/cover-cropping-strategies-for-market-gardeners-2/
