SUMMARY:APR 27\, 2024: BURTON\, BC - Silvopasture Tour at McCormack Farm
DESCRIPTION:Join Young Agrarians for a farm tour and potluck at McCormack Farm in beautiful Burton\, BC! \nWith 175 acres in production\, McCormack Farm is one of the largest farms in the region to be integrating silvopasture practices – the combination of tree crop production with rotationally-grazed livestock.  This 120-year-old farm is in the process of planting out their existing open pastures with tree species that provide fodder for animals\, food for people\, timber\, and other long-term resources. These trees offer numerous other benefits\, such as shelter for their livestock\,  improved pasture quality\, enhanced biodiversity\, and increased resilience of their farm to the extremes in weather. This is a unique opportunity to tour a diversified regenerative farm that is actively adapting their farming practices for a changing climate. \nForest McCormack will be our guide for the day. He is a fourth generation farmer who is  passionate about agroforestry and has a wealth of knowledge to share in this field. Forest has an extensive nursery of trees he is growing out for the farm – tree enthusiasts will enjoy learning about the unique genetics he has been collecting. As part of this event\, we will have the chance to help plant out some of these trees in their pasture\, so bring along a shovel! This tour will have lots of time for discussion about tree crops\, regenerative growing practices\, and developing climate resilient farm systems. \nDATE: Saturday\, April 27\, 2024  •  10 am – 2 pm PST \nREGISTER: youngagrarians.org/apr-27-2024-burton-bc-silvopasture-tour-at-mccormack-farm

SUMMARY:Organic Vegetables and Soil Health: Trial Results and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Join this evening presentation to hear results from on-farm trials that have been looking at nutrient management and cover cropping practices on organic farms across southern British Columbia since 2015. You will also have a chance to learn about a new four-year trial\, building on this work\, that farmers can join this spring. \nManagement practices that promote soil health are the foundation of Canadian organic production standards. Ideally\, these practices lead to regenerative outcomes\, like reducing reliance on environmentally risky nutrient inputs and storing carbon in the soil. But there are still unanswered questions about the affects of different soil health practices\, especially across BC’s diverse growing conditions. \nHear about the results from nine years of soil health trials on organic mixed vegetable farms. Results will be discussed in the context of a new four-year trial that aims to improve regenerative outcomes and will be looking at conservation tillage in addition to nutrient management and cover cropping. \nFarmers that participate in the new trials will have the opportunity to share their experiences and help prioritize the research questions addressed through the trials. \nRegister to attend here.
