SUMMARY:Forage Fertility: Unearthing a Profitable Portion of Nitrogen Stored in Soil with Dr. Alan Franzluebbers
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 agronomists. 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 21 with Dr. Alan Franzluebbers\, Research Ecologist with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh\, NC. Research has been conducted in soil ecology and management. Specifically\, Dr. Franzluebbers has evaluated soil-test biological activity in conservation cropping and managed grazing systems to estimate soil N availability. He is the Past-President of the American Forage and Grassland Council. \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). This event is free to attend. \nCEUs: 1.0 NM (Pending Approval) \n*This event is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management and Rotational Grazing categories. \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:Cover Crop Economics with Dr. Aaron De Laporte
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 agronomists. 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\, November 4 with Dr. Aaron De Laporte\, Senior Research Associate in the Department of Food\, Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Guelph.. His work focusses on the economic and environmental dimensions of agricultural sustainability\, with a particular emphasis on business risk management programs\, climate adaption strategies\, and the adoption of beneficial management practises (BMPs). \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). This event is free to attend. \n1.5 CM CEU (to be approved) \n*This event is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category. \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:Adaptive Multi Paddock Grazing with Virtual Fencing
DESCRIPTION:  \nDate: Tuesday\, November 17\, 2026 \n\nTime: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Central \n\n\nAdaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) grazing can help producers improve pasture utilization\, respond to changing forage conditions and give livestock access to fresh forage more frequently. However\, moving temporary fences and maintaining water access can make more intensive grazing systems challenging to implement. \nJoin ranchers Tim Wray of Alberta and Marie-Pier Beaulieu of Quebec for a practical discussion about using virtual fencing to support AMP grazing. Drawing on their experience and research\, they will share how they are using this technology\, how cattle learn and respond to the system\, and what they are seeing in their pastures. They will also discuss how virtual fencing affects the labour\, time\, infrastructure and day-to-day decisions involved in moving cattle\, along with some of the challenges and limitations producers should consider. This webinar is in partnership with the Farm Resilience Mentorship (FaRM) program.  \nSpeakers:\nTim Wray\, fourth generation Alberta rancher and winner of the 2023 Environmental Stewardship Award\nMarie-Pier Beaulieu\, Director of the Conseil québécois des plantes fourragères (CQPF) \nRegister for free here (scroll down to the November 17th event and then create a free account):  \nhttps://www.sciencesocieties.org/education/online-courses \nCEUs:\nCCA/CPAg: 1.0 Sustainability\nCPSS/CPSC: 1.0 Professional Meetings \n\nAdaptive Multi Paddock Grazing with Virtual Fencing is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Rotational Grazing category.

SUMMARY:How Cover Crop Roots Improve Soil Health with Dr. Hanna Poffenbarger
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 agronomists. 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\, November 18 with Dr. Hanna Poffenbarger\, Associate Professor of soil nutrient management at the University of Kentucky. She studies how carbon and nutrients cycle in soil-crop systems and uses this understanding to develop sustainable soil management practices and resilient production systems\, including nutrient capture and release by cover crops\, optimal fertilization practices for crop yield and quality\, long-term effects of soil management practices on soil health\, and more. \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). This event is free to attend. \n1.5 SW CEU (to be approved) \n*This event is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Cropping category. \nREGISTER HERE \n
