SUMMARY:What is the “right rate” of N\, and how should we determine it? (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A key facet in “right rate” is determining an appropriate yield goal. Instead of getting lost in the never-ending quest for maximum yield\, consider goals that are in the producer’s best interest\, provide maximum profit\, deliver maximum benefit\, and acknowledge other sources of N to the crop. We’ll discuss how these factors of making N fertilizer recommendations are the future of climate-smart agriculture. \nThis webinar has been organized by the American Society of Agronomy in collaboration with Farmers for Climate Solutions. \nSpeaker:\nDavid Burton\, Director\, Centre for Sustainable Soil Management\, Department of Plant\, Food\, and Environmental Sciences\, Dalhousie University \nRegister here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/5276364323905798237 \nNote: This session must be attended LIVE to qualify as a KSE.

SUMMARY:Seeding Success - Farm Business Practices Assessment Workshops
DESCRIPTION:It’s no secret – primary producers who adopt farm business management practices enjoy increased\nprofitability\, confidence\, peace of mind and family and farm team harmony.\nBut\, what are the best practices when it comes to farm business management? And\, where do you begin?\nThe Seeding Success: Farm Business Practices Assessment Workshop (known in some regions as Growing\nYour Farm Profits and others as Taking Stock) is designed to help producers improve their business\npractices by combining self-assessment and action plan development with access to support resources to\nachieve results: Assess\, Act\, Achieve! \nWho Should Attend?\nThe one-day workshop is free and open to all producers – new and established. Farm families and\nmanagement teams are encouraged to attend the workshop together. \nWhat to Expect?\nParticipants will work their way through a series of self-assessment questions to identify their current\npractices under key management areas:\n1. Production Management\n2. Marketing\n3. Financial Management\n4. Human Resources\n5. Succession Planning\n6. Social Responsibility\n7. Business Goals \n\n\nBased on their self-assessment\, participants will identify their top priority areas for improvement to start creating action plans. Participants will not be asked to share personal or financial details of their operations\, but rather assess their practices against industry best practices. Participants will also learn about additional support and resources including advisory services\, training and cost-share funding opportunities to help achieve their business goals. \nThe workshop is being offered FREE to producers in multiple locations across Canada thanks to funding from the Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council. \n\nFore more information and to register: https://fmc-gac.com/seedingsuccess/

SUMMARY:Grassland Bird Conservation on Farms
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Zoe Lebrun-Southcott\, Dr Andrew Campmozzi and Hanna Kirchmeir\, all of Bird Ecology and Conservation Ontario \n​Saturday February 24th\, 2024\, 1:30 – 3:30 pm at Grey Ag Services. \n​Cost: $20.00. Please register here to attend in-person. \n\n\n\n\nGrassland bird species at risk\, such as bobolink\, rely on hayfields and pastures for nesting habitat in Ontario. Bird Ecology and Conservation Ontario\, a small non-profit organization\, has been working with farmers since 2016 to implement stewardship for nesting grassland birds while trying to minimize negative impacts on farm production. Join us to learn about the grassland birds that may be nesting in your hayfields and pastures and to find out what we have learned so far about the challenges and opportunities for grassland bird conservation in agricultural grasslands. We encourage course participants to share details about their farm operations for a collaborative discussion about finding ways to make space for nesting grassland birds in hayfield and pasture management plans.
