SUMMARY:Exploring the AgriSuite Greenhouse Gas Decision Support Tool (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Save the date. More information coming soon! \nDid you know that farmers can use an OMAFRA-designed Greenhouse Gas (GHG) decision support tool\, available on AgriSuite\, to measure their GHG emissions on-farm and explore options for reducing their carbon footprint? \nJoin OSCIA and the Ontario Soil Network on November 24th to explore the tool with the staff that helped design it\, and hear from one Central Ontario farmer on how they’ve used it to make decisions and reduce their operations impact through practices like cover cropping\, precision ag\, applying organic amendments and more. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMuf-6sqTgsHd0uBhsnjQgoiHceGRsFApuJ

SUMMARY:Exploring Agro-Ecological Benefits of Rotational Grazing (Bruce County)
DESCRIPTION:Join OSCIA for an informative pasture walk and presentation and explore the agro-ecological benefits of integrated practices like rotational grazing and cover cropping\, such as improved biodiversity and species at risk habitat protection\, enhanced soil and water quality\, nutrient cycling and mitigating net greenhouse gas emissions. \nPeter Kotzeff is a beef veterinarian and farmer who owns and manages over 2000 acres of cropland\, pasture and protected woodland\, wetland\, and riverbanks in Bruce County – much of which is considered marginal land with irregular sloped fields. By integrating intensive (or strip) cattle grazing\, minimal tillage\, cover crops and sensible crop rotation\, Peter has observed improved soil structure\, greater nutrient availability\, and a healthier river. \nParticipants will also hear from: \n\nAndrew Campomizzi\, Research Scientist\, Birds Ecology Conservation Ontario\nKim Schneider\, Assistant Professor in Forage and Service Crops\, University of Guelph\n\nTo learn more or to register\, visit https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/exploring-agro-ecological-benefits-of-rotational-grazing-tickets-679475618867 \nQuestions can be directed to SARFIP@ontariosoilcrop.org. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Pasture & Plot Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:There is always so much to see and learn at Woodleigh Farms! Norm Lamothe will share how strategies like reduced tillage\, cover cropping\, diverse crop rotations\, soil organic amendments\, precision ag and rotational grazing (new!) work together to help his farm improve soil health and reduce environmental impact while maintaining profitability. \nIn this plot and pasture walking tour\, you’ll see: \n\nA newly established Rotational Grazing System for sheep\nRecently established Operation Pollinator habitat in field margins\nOn-farm biochar composting\nONFARM research plots\nand more!\n\nThis event is FREE to attend. Lunch included. Registration is required. This is a walking tour; please dress appropriately for field conditions (e.g.\, close-toed shoes). The tour will proceed rain or shine (barring severe inclement weather). \nQuestions can be directed to SARFIP@ontariosoilcrop.org. \nWe look forward to seeing you there!
