SUMMARY:2025 ONFARM Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually on February 6\, 2025 between 9AM-12PM for our Annual ONFARM Research Forum! \nSince 2019\, the ONFARM program has completed extensive soil health and water quality analysis on farms across Ontario to build a stronger understanding of best management practices (BMPs) and their effect on soil health and water quality. Originally a four-year program\, ONFARM was renewed until 2028. \nDuring the Forum\, we will explore: \n\nThe effects of organic amendment applications and cover crops on yields\, soil health\, and water quality\nHow to interpret carbon and nitrogen soil health indicators\, and which ones are most helpful for tracking improvements in soil health\nThe impacts of cover crops on runoff generation and water quality\nWater quality and soil health opportunities and challenges in Ontario\n\nPlease register for the Forum here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEpdeisrDsuG9HK3ODeIjfwbcmNO_8rm7ky#/registration \nPlease check back in mid-January for more information on our sessions and our speakers. \nONFARM is currently funded by the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership\, a five-year federal-provincial-territorial initiative. Developed by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture\, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and delivered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA)\, ONFARM monitors soil health and water quality on working farms across the province\, examining the effectiveness of different agricultural BMPs. \nThis event will be an Ontario On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) in the category of cover cropping. We will apply for Continuing Education Credits (CEU) for Certified Crop Advisors. \n\n\n\n\nTime\nActivity\n\n\n9:00 am\n\nWelcome & setting the stage\n        Speakers: \n\nWilton Consulting Group (WCG)\nDr. Angela Straathof\, Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA)\n\n\n\n\n9:25 am\n\nChallenges and opportunities with ag research in Northern Ontario\n        Speakers: \n\nLeia Weaver\, Northern Ontario Farm Innovation Alliance\nBirgit Martin\, OSCIA\n\n\n\n\n9:40 am\n\nDigging into carbon and nitrogen soil health indicators\n        Speaker: \n\nAdam Hayes\, Soil Resource Group\n\n\n\n\n10:00 am\n\nThe effects of best management practices on yields and soil health\n        Speakers: \n\nCaleb Niemeyer\, Woodrill Farms and the University of Guelph\nMargaret Ribey\, Soil Resource Group\nLuke Hannam\, ONFARM cooperator\n\n\n\n\n10:45 am\nBreak\n\n\n11:00 am\n\nThe impacts of cover crops on runoff generation and water quality\n        Speakers: \n\nDonna Small\, Lower Thames Valley Conservation Authority\nBeth Wrona\, Upper Thames River Conservation Authority\nMari Veliz\, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority\n\n\n\n\n11:30 am\n\nHow to incorporate cover crops throughout a rotation\n        Speakers: \n\nSarah Midlane-Jones\nJennifer Nash\, OSCIA\n\n\n\n\n11:50 am\n\nClosing remarks\n        Speaker: \n\nBirgit Martin\, OSCIA

SUMMARY:Eastern Ontario Crop Conference (EOCC): Nitrogen Management
DESCRIPTION:Two KSEs are available at this year’s Eastern Ontario Crop Conference (EOCC):\n#47 Navigating Nitrogen \nA roundup of the latest research in eastern Ontario focused on improving nitrogen fertilizer in corn. \n#56 The Value of Manure – Managing Dairy Manure for Increased Soil Health and Forage Production Sustainability \nManure is a valuable source of crop-essential nutrients that\, when managed carefully\, can help build soil organic matter\, enhance nutrient cycling\, and improve overall soil health and climate resilience over time. In 2022\, a statewide on-farm research project was initiated in New York State to quantify the nitrogen (N) replacement value\, corn silage or grain yield\, and soil health enhancements of various manure sources. Between 2022 and 2023\, eleven on-farm field trials were implemented. Yield data are being used to quantify differences in most economic N rate between manured and non-manured strips\, and to quantify the yield impact of the manure applications. In 2024\, eight additional trials were added using various manure sources. Results so far indicate that manure can offset N fertilizer needs and increase corn silage yield beyond its nutrient contributions\, but impacts are field-specific\, reflecting differences in field histories and growing conditions. Assessments of soil microbial biomass for sites in 2023 and 2024 reflected the manure history for trial locations and suggest that mid-season assessments may help identify where nitrogen fertilizer addition is beneficial for the crop and where not. Assessment of variability of different manure sources point to the importance of manure sampling and analyses. Preliminary results will be shared. \nWhen? January 21st\, 2025 \n Time?  TBD \nWhere? Kemptville Campus\, Parish Hall (40 Campus Drive\, Kemptville\, ON) \nAttendees will need to purchase a ticket to the Eastern Ontario Crop Conference to attend this event. \nRegistration: Visit EOCC  \nNavigating Nitrogen and The Value of Manure – Managing Dairy Manure for Increased Soil Health and Forage Production Sustainability is an OSCIA recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.
