SUMMARY:Guelph Organic Conference: Organic vs Inorganic Nitrogen: What every organic farmer needs to know
DESCRIPTION:The way in which plants detect\, take up and utilise different forms of nitrogen is of fundamental importance to all farmers but the specific benefits of organic vs inorganic nitrogen sources is of particular importance to organic farmers. Organic forms of nitrogen are less leaky and more stable in the soil but when taken up by the plant\, organic forms are more metabolically efficient than inorganic forms – in other words – plants require less energy to process and make use of organic forms of nitrogen. This has major implications for biomass production (yield)\, nitrogen demand and nitrogen use efficiency\, presenting a critical opportunity for organic farmers to manage nitrogen in a more targeted and efficient way. Is nitrogen really such a limitation in organic systems when organic forms are in dominant supply to the plant? Does the natural process of atmospheric N-fixation supply organic or inorganic N to the plant? Does a pound of N simply equal a pound of N? There is much more to the nitrogen story and this presentation will answer these important questions and take a deep dive into all things nitrogen nutrition.\n \n  \nJoel Williams is an independent plant and soil health educator and consultant who has worked extensively in Australia\, Europe and Canada where he is currently based. He has a keen interest in soil health\, plant nutrition and plant and soil microbiomes and how these may support the development of sustainable production systems. Joel has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science specialising in plant and soil dynamics and an MSc in Food Policy where he explored motivations and barriers to the adoption of intercropping. Joel has a passion for teaching and sharing a combination of scientific and practical information and has lectured to farming audiences internationally. \nRegister for the Session \nGuelph Organic Conference: Organic vs Inorganic Nitrogen: What every organic farmer needs to know is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.

SUMMARY:Understanding Urease and Nitrification Inhibitors
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\, January 28 with Dr. John Lauzon to explore how urease and nitrification inhibitors can reduce nitrogen losses in agricultural systems and improve nitrogen use efficiency. Nitrogen is essential for crop growth\, yet a significant portion of applied fertilizer is often lost through ammonia volatilization\, nitrification\, denitrification\, and leaching. These losses reduce crop uptake\, increase production costs\, and contribute to environmental impacts such as nitrous oxide emissions and water contamination. \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. CEUs 1.0 Nutrient Management available (Pending Approval). This webinar is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category (only available for the live webinar). \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar: Optimizing Nitrogen Management
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2025 Innovation Exchange: Living Lab–ON Research Forum  — a four-part virtual series exploring climate-friendly solutions co-developed by farmers and researchers. \nAcross four Wednesday sessions this fall (Nov 26\, Dec 3\, Dec 10\, Dec 17)\, we’ll dig into practical innovations and the latest research on: \nDec. 10th  – 2:30pm \n\nOptimizing Nitrogen Management \n\nOptimizing your nitrogen applications is a complex management decision. Apply too much and lose returns on your investment or increase the loss of nitrogen as nitrous oxide (a potent greenhouse gas). Join Living Lab – Ontario researchers\, Craig Drury (AAFC) studying nitrification and urease inhibitors to understand how these products can benefit the environment and your crops. We will also hear from Researcher\, Aaron Delaporte (AAFC) on how these practices can improve your ROI and a Living Lab farmer-cooperator exploring ways to optimize nitrogen management using plant-available nitrogen from cover crops. Hear how their first set of trials has gone\, and how they are adapting their management strategies on their farm going forward.. \n\nREGISTER HERE \nOptimizing Nitrogen Management  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.

SUMMARY:Ontario Soil Network Road Trip Day 4 - Middlesex County
DESCRIPTION:STOP 1: \nIn 2021\, the UTRCA established a 58 acre demonstration farm near Thorndale\, Ontario. The farm is used to research and demonstrate a number of agricultural best management practices (BMPs)\, including cover cropping\, and showcase how they can improve and protect soil health and water quality while maintaining productivity in the southern Ontario landscape. The farm exhibits a suite of BMPs\, offering multiple opportunities to reduce nutrient and sediment loss at the field scale. \nThe highlight feature of the farm is the contoured controlled drainage system which utilizes a series of Agri-Drain control structures to manage sub-surface drainage across 14 acres of the field\, which can be compared to the conventional tile system covering the remainder of the farm. \nSTOP 2: \nDanny Jefferies is the Agronomy Lead at Honeyland Ag Services\, he oversee a diverse range of agronomic and research-focused initiatives to support customer success and drive innovation in nutrient management. Join Danny for an informal tour looking at tillage treatment & some sulfur treatments in soybeans at the field level and around the lab. Honeyland Ag Services is an agricultural lab located in Southwestern Ontario that provides agricultural decision making services through strong partnerships and innovation. They are focused on providing cutting edge analysis so you can better manage your agricultural inputs. \n  \nWhen? Tuesday August 26 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm \nWhere? 16364 Thorndale Road Thorndale\, ON N0M 2P0; 3918 W Corner Dr\, Ailsa Craig\, ON N0M 1A0 \nREGISTER NOW \nOntario Soil Network Road Trip Day 4 is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management and Cover Cropping category.
