SUMMARY:Considering Renting your Farmland? Collaboration on Farmland Rental Agreements for Farmers and Landowners
DESCRIPTION:Bruce Kelly\, Program Consultant\, Farm & Food Care Ontario will lead this course on Farmland Rental Agreements\, offering farmers and landowners a unique opportunity to learn how to work together and effectively develop a written agreement that works well for both parties over time. Effective communication is the cornerstone of a successful rental agreement. It’s not just about the financial aspect but also about creating a win-win situation. Farmers need to see the benefits of good management in the long term\, and landowners need reassurance about managing their land. As more of Ontario’s farming is done on rented land\, the significance of farmer-landowner relationships is increasing. A solution is a simple yet effective written lease. The lease would outline both parties’ responsibilities and helps set collaborative goals\, define the financial terms\, and clarify the land management. It gives the farmer the security to make suitable land management investments with a longer-term perspective.  And what about the cost? Will the rent be a flat rate? When will it be paid? Will the rate change over time? Will the rental amount be based on some formula that considers the value of the crop produced? And what about capital improvements? Who pays for a new culvert\, a load of gravel or fencing repairs?  The workshop will cover topics such as the benefits of written leases\, effective communication strategies\, capital investments and basic rental formulas.  **Please note that land rental rates will not be discussed.** Webinar fee is $12.00. Please RSVP to info@greyagservices.ca.

SUMMARY:March Manure Mondays
DESCRIPTION:March Manure Mondays 2025 Poster\n\n\n\nMARCH MANURE MONDAYS 2025 from 2pm-3pm (ET) \nMarch 10th – Fine-tuning Manure Nutrient Availability\nManure application can reduce fertilizer needs\, improve soil health and increase yields. Kirsten Workman and Quirine Ketterings (Cornell\, NY) will provide an overview of manure research that helped quantify the nitrogen replacement value from manure to determine MERN (most economic rate of N) as well as the impacts to microbial biomass for sites with and without manure. \nMarch 17th – In-crop application using 360 Rain to improve 4R practices\nHandling the dilute liquids that remain after solids separation is expensive and time consuming. Scott Shearer (Ohio State U) will discuss the opportunities of new technology like 360 Rain for in-crop application of manure liquids for improved 4R nutrient management\, water management yields in a value-enhanced circular economy. \nMarch 31st Application strategies to maximize N and reduce GHG losses in the field.\nNitrogen inhibitors help reduce N loss and nitrous oxide emissions for fertilizer\, but what about manure? Heather Darby (U of Vermont) and Debbie Aller will evaluate research results that compare application timing\, injection vs surface application\, use of biochar and other technologies that can reduce emissions. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere? Online through Zoom \n  \n Visit the link to register! \n  \nMarch Manure Monday sessions for March 10\, 17 and 31st  is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.  \n
