SUMMARY:Webinar: Sowing solutions: Why these cover cropping BMPs? / Solutions d’ensemencement Pourquoi avoir choisi ces PGB s’appliquant aux cultures de couverture?
DESCRIPTION:Join Farmers for Climate Solutions for a 60-minute free webinar where we will dive into the science and benefits of cover cropping. \n\n\n\nHow cover crops sequester carbon (and benefit your farm in other ways too) \nCover crops are helping farms improve soil health\, manage nutrients\, and build resilience\, but what processes are driving these changes in the field? In this webinar\, farmers and researchers will walk through the processes by which cover crops sequester carbon\, what we know about their impact on nitrous oxide emissions\, and how species selection and management decisions shape these outcomes. We’ll also explore the broader on-farm benefits that are motivating adoption across Canada. \n— \nVoici comment les cultures de couverture séquestrent le carbone (et procurent d’autres avantages à votre ferme) \nLes cultures de couverture contribuent à améliorer la santé des sols\, à gérer les nutriments et à renforcer la résilience. Or\, quels sont les processus à l’origine de ces changements dans les champs ? Lors de ce webinaire\, des agriculteur·rice·s et des chercheur·se·s décriront les processus par lesquels les cultures de couverture séquestrent le carbone\, les effets de ces processus sur les émissions d’oxyde nitreux\, ainsi que la manière dont les choix en matière d’espèces végétales et de méthodes de gestion influencent les résultats de ces processus. Ils présenteront également les avantages plus généraux des cultures de couverture pour les fermes\, ces avantages favorisant leur adoption à travers le Canada.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen? Monday\, Feb 2 @ 1:00 pm -2:00 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE \nSowing solutions: Why these cover cropping BMPs? is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category.

SUMMARY:Exploring Nitrogen Strategies On-Farm with Norm Lamothe
DESCRIPTION:The Ontario Soil Network (OSN) and Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO) are excited to collaborate on an event hosted by Norm Lamothe at Woodleigh Farms to showcase various Nitrogen Management Trials he is working on.

SUMMARY:Cattle Grazing Grasslands\, grazing\, and perennial forages for agricultural carbon storage (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Grasslands and perennial forages across western Canada have revenue streams that are limited to forage production and stock themselves\, but they also play a critical role in carbon (C) sequestration. We’ll discuss how specialized grazing systems can alter grassland function\, forage production\, water infiltration\, soil microbial properties\, and\, ultimately\, soil C storage. \nThis webinar has been organized by the American Society of Agronomy in collaboration with Farmers for Climate Solutions. \nSpeaker:\nEdward Bork\, Professor of Range Ecology and Management\, University of Alberta \nRegister here: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/20187470206318936 \nNote: This session must be attended LIVE to qualify as a KSE. Watching a recording does not qualify.

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.
