SUMMARY:Webinar: Feeding the Crop\, Fueling the Soil: The Role of Soil Biology in Nitrogen Cycling
DESCRIPTION:Join Amanda Mitchell as she discusses the role of soil microorganisms in nitrogen cycling and how best management practices aim to “harness” the potential of the microbial community for crop nitrogen availability. \nAmanda grew up on a grain farm in Southern Saskatchewan and is currently a PhD student at the University of Guelph studying the impact of BMP’s on nitrogen cycling microorganisms under winter wheat with Dr. Kari Dunfield. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? October 22 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \n  \nFeeding the Crop\, Fueling the Soil: The Role of Soil Biology in Nitrogen Cycling is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.

SUMMARY:Nitrogen Management and Challenges in Corn
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Certified Crop Advisor Association (CCA) and Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) have partnered to deliver training and educational resources to Ontario agrologists. With a focus on cover crops\, nitrogen management\, and rotational grazing\, these sessions will support the objectives of the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. Check out the full webinar series schedule here. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, October 29 with Dr. Dan Quinn for an interactive presentation “Nitrogen Management and Challenges in Corn”. In this webinar\, Dr. Dan Quinn dives deep into the complexities of nitrogen management in corn systems\, highlighting why this nutrient remains a stubborn challenge despite decades of research and innovation. Nitrogen isn’t going anywhere–literally or figuratively. Its management remains a moving target due to environmental variability\, evolving crop genetics\, and technological limitations. The solution? Control what you can: minimize losses\, optimize timing\, and tailor strategies to your field’s unique conditions. \nFunding for this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions (ACS) – On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF). \nThis event is free to attend. CEU credits are available. \nREGISTER HERE \nNitrogen Management and Challenges in Corn is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.
