SUMMARY:Nitrogen Management and Challenges in Corn
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Certified Crop Advisor Association (CCA) and Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) have partnered to deliver training and educational resources to Ontario agrologists. With a focus on cover crops\, nitrogen management\, and rotational grazing\, these sessions will support the objectives of the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. Check out the full webinar series schedule here. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, October 29 with Dr. Dan Quinn for an interactive presentation “Nitrogen Management and Challenges in Corn”. In this webinar\, Dr. Dan Quinn dives deep into the complexities of nitrogen management in corn systems\, highlighting why this nutrient remains a stubborn challenge despite decades of research and innovation. Nitrogen isn’t going anywhere–literally or figuratively. Its management remains a moving target due to environmental variability\, evolving crop genetics\, and technological limitations. The solution? Control what you can: minimize losses\, optimize timing\, and tailor strategies to your field’s unique conditions. \nFunding for this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions (ACS) – On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF). \nThis event is free to attend. CEU credits are available. \nREGISTER HERE \nNitrogen Management and Challenges in Corn is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category.

SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing: Improving Soil Fertility for Nutrient-Dense Beef
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Certified Crop Advisor Association (CCA) and Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) have partnered to deliver training and educational resources to Ontario agrologists. With a focus on cover crops\, nitrogen management\, and rotational grazing\, these sessions will support the objectives of the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. Check out the full webinar series schedule here. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, October 15 with Randy Gamble for an interactive presentation “Rotational Grazing: Improving Soil Fertility for Nutrient-Dense Beef”. This presentation explores a grazing strategy that combines cover crops and nutrient reduction to enhance both pasture productivity and overall farm sustainability. While soil health is often emphasized in row crop systems\, it’s equally vital for grazed pastures–boosting forage quality and reducing reliance on fertilizers beyond just nitrogen. Nutrient-dense forage = nutrient-dense beef. By focusing on forage quality\, the farm produces healthier\, more nutrient-rich beef. \nFunding for this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions (ACS) – On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF). \nThis event is free to attend. CEU credits are available. \nREGISTER HERE \nRotational Grazing: Improving Soil Fertility for Nutrient-Dense Beef is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing category.

SUMMARY:From Sky to Soil: Drone Innovation Changing the Way We Farm
DESCRIPTION:Curious about drones on the farm? Come see how they’re changing the game—from cover crop seeding to capturing crop data and spraying with precision. We’ll show you how one drone gathers info from the field\, and another follows up with a live demo\, applying a custom prescription based on that data. It’s a hands-on look at how smart tech can save time\, cut costs\, and boost results. Don’t miss it! \nPRESENTATIONS: \nCover Crops from the Sky: What Works\, What Doesn’t\nJoin Jake Munroe\, Soil Management Specialist (Field Crops) OMAFA in the field for a boots-on-the-ground (and drones-in-the-air) look at aerial seeding in action. We’ll dive into the best crop staging for aerial seeding of cover crops—right where it’s happening\, with a demo into standing soybeans. You’ll see early results from last season’s drone seeding efforts\, with photos and insights on what influenced success\, including surface residue\, tillage systems\, and more. We’ll also compare the pros and cons of drone seeding versus traditional methods like drilling or broadcasting. If all goes well\, we’ll even take a peek at a cover crop seeded earlier this season and already growing beneath the canopy. It’s a chance to see what’s working\, what still needs tweaking\, and how aerial seeding might fit into your own system. \n  \nAerial Insights. Clear Results.\nAfter we see how drone cover crops work\, Andres Hurtado\, MBA\, Founder and CEO – Terranova UAV will take us through a live demonstration that brings the future of agriculture into focus. This dynamic event showcases how drone technology is transforming the way we manage crops—from data capture to precision application. You’ll follow the full journey: watch as aerial data is collected in real time\, see how it’s processed into actionable insights\, and witness a programmed sprayer drone apply treatments with pinpoint accuracy. Learn how targeted applications—based on aerial prescriptions—can reduce input costs\, increase efficiency\, and drive better results in the field. Whether you’re new to drone tech or looking to take your operation to the next level\, this is an event you won’t want to miss. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen?
