SUMMARY:Cover Crop Seeding & Agriculture Drones 101 - Staffa
DESCRIPTION:Cover Crop Seeding & Agriculture Drones 101 – Staffa: \nJune 25 @ 12:30 – 2:30 \nCome out and learn the basics of using drones in agriculture\, with a focus on cover crop seeding. We’ll walk through how it all works\, what’s involved in getting set up\, and how growers are using drones to spread cover crops. You’ll also hear from experienced applicators about what works—and what doesn’t—and see live demos so you can get a feel for how it all comes together in the field. Whether you’re just curious or thinking about using drones on your farm\, this is a great place to start. \nThis event is free but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Northwest Diagnostics Day
DESCRIPTION:OMAFA and University of Guelph will come together with NOFIA in Emo to deliver a crop diagnostics day\, July 28 2026. Building on the success of the Northeast Diagnostic Day in New Liskeard in 2025\, the team has aligned again to deliver an informative day of producer education at the Ontario Crops Research Centre – Emo. Specialists from Ontario Ministry of Food and Rural Affairs will be hosted by the University of Guelph researchers\, with the event facilitated by the Northern Ontario Farm Innovation Alliance. \nThis event would be focused on producer education around major crops and weed management\, with discussions on topics like Nitrogen Management and Cover Cropping. \nThe event website and pricing will be set at a later date. This will be a ticketed event. \nNOFIA and the New Liskeard team found that the New Liskeard event was really a huge success\, with over 80 people in attendance. Despite the weather and thanks to Horst\, Joanna\, Meghan\, Christine\, and Ben for making the trip. This year Mike Cowbrough will be attending instead of Megan Moran\, with the rest of the team remaining the same. \n*This event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP category Nitrogen Management and Cover Cropping

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Community Pasture Walk and Field Day
DESCRIPTION:NOFIA invites you to the Thunder Bay Community Pasture Walk and Field Day\, in collaboration with OMAFA and Lakehead University\, along with the board of the Thunder Bay Community Pastures. \nThe event will highlight the ongoing pasture improvements as the pasture management adapts towards a rotational grazing system as well as key research projects taking place on the pasture. The Living Labs project on carbon sequestrations in soil will be highlighted\, as well as the final season of research for the rotational grazing project with Lakehead University. \nOMAFA’s Christine O’Reilly will be on hand to discuss optimal management of forages and the research around the use and calibration of a rising plate meter. This will be contrasted with the remote sensing data being collected by drone and analyzed by Lakehead’s labs. \nThe event will start at the pasture with a walk and demonstration\, with a talk to follow at the nearby O’Connor Hall. \n*This event is recognized as OSCIA OFCAF KSE under BMP category Rotational Grazing
