SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing for Climate Resilience
DESCRIPTION:This full-day field day will include a tour of Meeting Place Organic Farm\, a multigenerational farm in Lucknow Ontario\, including cattle\, pigs\, horses and poultry on pasture using portable electric fencing and poultry hutches. The discussion will focus on how rotational grazing works and how you can integrate these methods into your own farm plans. Pasture charts will be available with a discussion of how to use them to keep track of your pasture activities during the grazing season. There will also be a discussion of the role of pastures and hay land in the carbon cycle and the water cycle.  We will consider how these impact carbon sequestration and farm resilience in the face of drought and flooding.  This August tour will be a chance to see pastures after they have been through a significant portion of the grazing season. \nFor more information and to register\, visit https://efao.ca/event/rotational-grazing-climate-resilience/ \n\n

SUMMARY:Trialing No-till Potatoes with Cover Crops
DESCRIPTION:Since 2021\, Ken Laing has been developing a medium-scale production system for organic potatoes that requires no in-season hilling or weeding. Using winter rye as a cover crop\, he is now in the third year of testing the system with some success.  Field days are a great way to check out Ken’s innovations in person\, and pick his brain about all things vegetable growing. You can learn more about his no-till systems here. \nFor more information or to register\, visit https://efao.ca/event/trialing-no-till-potatoes-with-cover-crops-year-three/

SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing at Kirkview Farms
DESCRIPTION:The team at Kirkview farms believes that adding rotational grazing to your land will provide significant benefits to your farm. It can aid in rebuilding soil health\, reducing input costs and improve animal health. Mike\, the host for this field day\, will review the holistic aspect of rotational grazing\, the how\, and the “dos and dont’s.” He will provide an overview of the grass-fed market\, grass-fed genetics\, pasture forages\, grazing plans\, fencing and water supply. \nThe majority of this field day will be spent on a tour of Kirkview farms to learn about the principles of rotational grazing in action: see how it supports our soil\, our animals\, the environment and in turn ourselves and our community. On the tour\, you will see how Kirkview farms is using the 6 regenerative farming principles combined with permaculture-based designs to create an unique agro-ecosystem model. \nAttendees are encouraged to explore regenerative agriculture as a topic before coming\, but no matter what type of farming you do\, you will learn something during this field day! \nBring your own bagged lunch for a community picnic during the day. Some refreshments will be provided. \nFor more information or to register\, visit: https://efao.ca/event/rotational-grazing-at-kirkview-farms/
