Practical and Productive Vegetable Crop Rotations (Virtual)
2026-04-14 13:00 - 14:15 | Online
Practical and Productive Vegetable Crop Rotations

Tuesday April 14 @ 1:00 pm – 2:15 pm Online via Zoom – link will be sent to registrants

Designing an effective crop rotation is one of the most important – and challenging – parts of managing a diversified vegetable farm. Join us for an informal, practical meet-up and discussion focused on how three ecological vegetable farms approach crop rotation planning and how they include and highlight cover crops to benefit their farms.
This session will feature short presentations from three experienced vegetable farmers – Jeff Boesch, Stephanie Laing and Reid Allaway – who will each share how they design and manage rotations on their farms. They’ll discuss the goals that guide their planning (such as soil health, pest and disease management, labor efficiency, and crop productivity), processes they use to build and adapt their rotations over time, and share about some of the challenges in their current processes.
Farmers will share how they integrate cover crops into their rotations, including where and when they fit them into tight production schedules, what species they rely on, and how cover crops support soil fertility and long-term resilience on their farms.
After the presentations, we’ll open the conversation for a casual discussion among participants. This will be a chance to ask questions, compare approaches, and learn from each other.
Whether you’re refining an existing rotation or building one from scratch, this interactive session will offer practical ideas, examples from working farms, and space for meaningful knowledge sharing and exchange.
This event is offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM).

Managing Nitrogen with Gerard Grubb
June 18 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
Gerard Grubb farms with a low-till approach on a corn-soybean-wheat rotation near Walkerton. On June 18, he’s opening his farm to walk through what he’s learning about nitrogen management — including results from his 2025 strip trials and what he has planned for 2026.
What’s on the agenda:

Adaptive Nitrogen Trials. OSN, EFAO, and FCS have partnered with farmers to run replicated strip trials on working farms. Gerard shares what his 2025 trial showed about nitrogen rate, yield, and profitability in corn following a cover crop — and how he’s taking it further in 2026.
Upside Robotics — in the field. Upside is testing autonomous robots designed to increase the number of nitrogen splits, potentially improving nitrogen efficiency and cutting labour. Come see them running.
In-field discussions and demonstrations (and coffee).

Meet at Gerard’s shop — we’ll carpool to the field together.
Free to attend. Open to all. For more information and to register CLICK HERE

Field Day at Franklin Farm: Trials, Transitions, and Trade-offs

Thursday June 18 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Online via Zoom – link will be sent to registrants

Located just five minutes from Lake Huron, the 100-acre Franklin Farm consists of 50 arable acres, 25 acres of pasture, and a 25-acre riparian zone surrounding a creek and small waterways. Tom and Christine focus on managing the property’s diverse ecology with the help of a small cow calf herd and a 12-paddocks rotational grazing system. The arable acres are dedicated to growing organic grains and cover crops that continue to build the soil health across soil types that vary from heavy clay to sand.
This is a splendid opportunity to share insights into balancing a steep learning curve and a tight budget with a steadfast commitment to ecological health.
Come dig into the nitty-gritty of small-scale farming, including:

The Organic Transition: Navigating the organic certification process.
Rotational Grazing: Managing systems for cow-calf herds, including fencing, and water logistics.
Lessons in Cover Cropping: Discover what’s worked for soil health and what didn’t work for logistically.
Small-Scale Grains: Practical advice on marketing, storage, and choosing the right equipment without breaking the bank.
Kernza (Perennial wheat): Looking towards seed bulking for a future farmer-led research trial.
Organic No-Till soybeans: Find out how the first time planting soybeans into cereal rye is going.
Farming for Biodiversity: Practical strategies for protecting Bobolink and Meadowlark nesting sites while maintaining a grazing rotation.

In the field: We’ll walk the fields to see the newly planted no-till organic soybeans, check in on the winter wheat, and observe the cow-calf herd during their early pasture rotation.

Join us for an afternoon at the Franklin farm as Tom shares the lessons from his early years of farming. For more information and to register, CLICK HERE.

Grazing for Grain Growers: You Don’t Need Livestock with Lyndsey Smith

Tuesday, July 7 @ 9:30 PM EST [7:30 PM CST]

What if you could get the soil health benefits of grazing without owning a single animal?
This webinar explores exactly that. Join SaskSoil for a conversation with Lyndsey Smith, agriculture communicator (RealAgriculture) and co-founder of Shady Creek Lamb Co. Lyndsey and her partner Chris Moore have spent nine seasons grazing utility-scale solar sites across Ontario — and four years working with grain farmers to extend the grazing season well into winter using grain ground. The results have been a win for both the land and the producers involved.
