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. Watching a recording does not qualify.

SUMMARY:A case for the moldboard plough: Prudent tillage with cover crops (RESCHEDULED)
DESCRIPTION:Brett Israel of 3Gen Organics reduced tillage for organic field crops using forage crops—and a moldboard plough. He shares his successes and challenges along the way. He will talk about the systems he is developing for organic reduced tillage soybeans with cereal rye and “alfalfa-fueled corn”\, which is organic field corn that they grow with alfalfa as the sole source of additional nitrogen. \nFor more information or to register\, visit https://efao.ca/event/double-crop-3gen/
