SUMMARY:On-Farm Research Meet Up (Niagara)
DESCRIPTION:Join OSCIA and Larry Dyck at Campden Grain to talk all things on-farm research\, nitrogen efficiency\, cover cropping and soil health! \nFor years\, Larry Dyck and his family have been experimenting with practices like no-till\, cover cropping and planting green to make their clay soils more manageable and resilient. Larry’s search for knowledge has contributed to his decision to participate in applied research programs like ONFARM and Living Lab – Ontario. \nLearn more about the on-farm research underway at Larry’s farm\, including: \nONFARM \nThe On-Farm Applied Research and Monitoring (ONFARM) program is a nine-year applied research initiative that supports soil health and water quality research on farms across Ontario. Hear from researchers at the Soil Resource Group about Larry’s ONFARM trial comparing different cover crop mixes (including a biostrip treatment) to increase organic matter and improve soil structure. \nLiving Lab – Ontario \nThe Living Lab – Ontario (LL-ON) is a five-year innovation project that brings together farmers\, organizations\, researchers\, and other experts to co-develop\, test\, and evaluate beneficial management practices (BMPs) that address climate change challenges in livestock and cropping systems. Hear from Craig Drury\, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada\, who is working with farmers\, including Larry\, to trial various 4R strategies to enhance nitrogen use efficiency in corn. \nGreenbelt Foundation Soil Health Program \nThe Greenbelt Foundation will also be joining to discuss their Free Soil Health Program which aims to develop an interpretable\, scalable\, locally relevant method for evaluating and monitoring soil health. Enjoy a soil health demonstration and learn how farmers in York\, Durham\, and Niagara regions may be eligible for a free soil health report. \nRegistration is required. Visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/on-farm-research-meet-up-tickets-927263238307?aff=oddtdtcreator \nFor more information\, please contact onfarm@ontariosoilcrop.org. \n

By sharing your expertise and participating in soil health sampling\, you have been instrumental in developing new methods for evaluating and monitoring soil health in Ontario. Your contribution has already helped fellow producers make informed decisions about which practices to implement for maximum soil health benefit! \nJoin the Greenbelt Foundation Soil Health Program and Erin Common Ground for a FREE event at GoodLot Farm on Tuesday July 9\, 2024 from 5pm to 9pm. This event will include presentations from industry professionals on soil health assessment and opportunities to learn and connect with fellow producers and soil enthusiasts – and of course\, supper! \nIf you participated in the Greenbelt Foundation’s Soil Health Program\, we encourage you to bring along your results report to refer to during the presentations and discussions. Erin Common Ground participants are invited to enjoy an evening of soil health discussions which will guide the development of ECG’s upcoming Building Common Ground Project! \nBy attending and contributing\, your feedback will inform the development of new methods for evaluating and monitoring soil health in Ontario. \nPresentations include: \n\nSoil History of the Area – with Ted Taylor\nManagement Impact on Soil Health Indicators – with Adam Hayes\n2023 Results and Report Overview – with Ryan Carlow\nSoil Organic Matters – Sarah Larsen\n\nFor more information\, please visit:   \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/better-together-improving-soil-health-in-ontario-tickets-912117657467

SUMMARY:Grey Bruce Farmers' Week - Sheep Day (In Person and Livestreaming)
DESCRIPTION:Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week (GBFW) has been a main stay for the agricultural industry in Grey County since 1966. The featured commodities have changed as our agricultural focus has evolved\, but the mandate to educate farmers and agribusiness has remained firm. #GBFW24 includes several KSEs\, including:  \nGrazing Cover Crops \nJanuary 6\, 2024 at 11:20 a.m. \nChristine O’Reilly\, Forage & Grazing Specialist\, OMAFRA; Quintin McEwen\, Owner/Operator\, Cedar Grove Farm \nCover crops can help to extend a grazing season\, increase grazing acres in a rotation\, and be a cost effective forage source for sheep. Hear from an OMAFRA grazing specialist\, and a producer with experience using covers for feed about how they might fit into your operation. \nNote: GBFW sessions that qualify as KSEs must be attended in person or watched via the livestream. Watching the recorded or on-demand sessions do not qualify. \nFor more information\, including the full agenda\, or to register\, visit Agriculture | Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week | Elmwood (greybrucefarmersweek.ca)
