Small Grains Summer Conference + Field Day at 3Gen Organics

Before fall planting and harvest begins in September, join EFAO’s Small Grains Network for a one day mini-conference August 24th followed by an in-person Field Day at 3Gen Organics.

The conference will include our regular monthly meet-up with a special guest speaker, a panel discussion with video tours on ‘the other small grains’ – with insights from growers about some of the successes and challenges they’ve had adding small grains such as quinoa!

3Gen Organics is a multi generation family farm that is made up of 1000 acres of cropland and a farrow to finish swine operation, all of which are managed under the Canadian Organic Regime. The Israel family practices a diverse cropping system, and is working on the Living Lab – Ontario project to develop improved organic reduced tillage practices.

Join Brett and the EFAO community to check out the 2021 plot trials including: no-till organic soybeans, double crop organic soybeans, alfalfa “fueled” corn, interseeded cover crops in corn, and cover crops following small grains.

When: Tuesday, August 24th, 2021 9am – 3pm & Thursday, August 26th, 2021 5-7pm
Where: Zoom (Tuesday) and Wallenstein, Ontario (Thursday)
Registration:  $25 for members; $30 for non-members*
