SUMMARY:Organic Amendments and Cover Cropping Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar and the following submission of field surface photos to AAFC’s Residue Measurement Survey are an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management and Cover Cropping categories. \nJoin OSCIA for an informative webinar on Organic Amendment Management and Cover Crops. \nFirst\, we’ll be hearing from Kevin Eisses about his organic amendment and cover cropping practices. Kevin operates Hewitt Creek Farms Ltd. in Innisfil and builds on a family tradition of dedication to soil health. In 2004 Kevin purchased a compost turner to help fine-tune his anaerobic composting process. As his operation has grown he has had to source municipal compost on top of his on-farm compost. Kevin is an ONFARM cooperator and his trial compares the use of organic amendment (solid municipal green bin compost) and multi-species cover crops. \nThen we’ll hear from Janet Harrop who operates Harrcroft Acres alongside her husband\, Ian\, and family. With the help of their kids\, the Harrop’s manage over 100 head dairy farm and 700 acres where they grow corn\, wheat\, soybeans\, and hay for their cows’ feed. Janet is passionate about family\, animal welfare\, farming\, and building a sustainable future through the decisions she makes right on her farm. She is a leader\, taking on a Living Lab research trial in her backyard where she works alongside Dr. Claudia Wagner-Riddle to study the impact of nutrient management practices on greenhouse gas emissions. \nFinally\, we will be hearing from Sam Schultz (AAFC) about the uses of satellite imagery in agriculture! She will also cover how to use AAFC’s Residue Measurement Survey where farmers can submit photos of their field surface to help improve interpretation of satellite imagery. \nEvery submission to AAFC’s Residue Survey\, enters you in a chance to win one of ten $250 Visa Gift Cards! \nPlease note\, to qualify as a KSE\, farmers must attend this webinar AND make 1 submission (of 3 field surface photos) to AAFC’s Residue Measurement Survey. Instructions on how to use the survey will be given during the webinar and emailed to attendees following the webinar. \nIf you have any questions\, don’t hesitate to email research@ontariosoilcrop.org. \nRegister (free) HERE.

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.

SUMMARY:Optimizing Nitrogen Efficiency: Best Practices for Sustainable Corn Production (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Living Lab – Ontario 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. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from two AAFC researchers\, Craig Drury and David Pelster\, examining and developing various 4R nutrient management strategies\, including inhibitors and incorporation\, through agronomic field trials and GHG measurements. The goal of this research is to enhance nitrogen use efficiency and productivity while mitigating the environmental impact of corn production in Ontario. \nTo register\, visit https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0pdeyorDwtGtebpFynlL_BZnNeeHH-9AiA#/registration \nFunding for the project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada under the Agricultural Climate Solutions – Living Labs program\, and core partners.
