SUMMARY:Multi-Species Rotational Grazing Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun and informative day at Fresh Valley Farms in Armstrong learning about multi-species rotational grazing practices you can use on your farm. Beneficial management practices like cover crops and well-managed grazing can help to build soil\, sequester carbon\, improve pastures\, increase crop yields and create a diversified ecosystem where plants and animals can thrive. We will start with the basics so beginners are welcome but more experienced grazers who are interested in optimizing their systems and improving their management practices will also benefit from this program. \nRotational grazing is a set of techniques used to control the time aspect of grazing that typically leads to overgrazing in a continuous grazing system. Livestock are moved into a defined area\, typically called a paddock\, where they have access to graze the plants in that area. They are then rotated to a new paddock while grazed plants have a chance to recover. The livestock are not moved back to that paddock again until the plants there have fully recovered. In this field day\, we will discuss the key tools that you need to ensure a successful rotational grazing program: \n\nContinuous movement\nPortable infrastructure\nBalance between grazing and rest\nCorrect stocking rate & stocking density\nAppropriate species/breed\n\nIn addition to classroom learning\, there will be hands on workshop stations and demonstrations on building\, maintaining and troubleshooting electric fence infrastructure including: \n\nPermanent high tensile fencing\nTying knots\nInstalling insulators\nGrounding\, energizers and troubleshooting\nPortable electric fences and rotational grazing infrastructure\n\nFarm tour including: \n\nMoving cattle & poultry in a rotational grazing system\nFencing for pigs\nManaging mineral & feed\nHousing infrastructure\nCover crops\n\nWe invite farmers to join us and hear from our speakers\, tour Fresh Valley Farms\, see a variety of integrated livestock systems and learn about their rotational grazing program. Farmers will be able to meet other farmers in the area and learn about different operations. This will be an opportunity to hear from industry specialists\, fellow farmers\, and the owner/operator of our host farm. \nRegister here: eventbrite.ca/e/multi-species-rotational-grazing-field-day-tickets-679573742357

SUMMARY:Rotational Grazing Field Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a fun and informative day learning about multi-species rotational grazing practices you can use on your farm. Beneficial management practices like well-managed grazing can help to build soil\, sequester carbon\, improve pastures\, increase crop yields and create a diversified ecosystem where plants and animals can thrive. Beginners are welcome but this field day is geared towards more experienced grazers who are interested in optimizing their systems and improving their management practices. We will send out recommended reading/viewing material to all registrants prior to the event. \nRotational grazing is a set of techniques used to control the time aspect of grazing that typically leads to overgrazing in a continuous grazing system. Livestock are moved into a defined area\, typically called a paddock\, where they have access to graze the plants in that area. They are then rotated to a new paddock while grazed plants have a chance to recover. The livestock are not moved back to that paddock again until the plants there have fully recovered. \nIn this field day\, we will discuss the key tools that you need to ensure a successful rotational grazing program: \n\nContinuous movement\nPortable infrastructure\nBalance between grazing and rest\nCorrect stocking rate & stocking density\nAppropriate species/breed\n\nIn addition to classroom learning\, there will be hands-on workshop stations and demonstrations on building\, maintaining and troubleshooting electric fence infrastructure including: \n\nPermanent high tensile fencing\nBuilding braces\nTying knots\nInstalling insulators\nGrounding\, energizers and troubleshooting\nPortable electric fences and rotational grazing infrastructure\n\nFarm tour including: \n\nMoving cattle & poultry in a rotational grazing system\nManaging mobile water\, mineral\, feed\nHousing infrastructure\n\nWe invite farmers to join us and hear from our speakers\, tour Spray Creek Ranch\, see a variety of integrated livestock systems and learn about their rotational grazing program. Farmers will be able to meet other farmers in the area and learn about different operations. This will be an opportunity to hear from industry specialists\, fellow farmers\, and the owner/operator of our host farm. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:On-Farm Demonstration Research to Promote Cover Cropping in Blueberry Production
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative field day between BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food\, FarmFolk CityFolk and E.S. Cropconsult Ltd. FarmFolk CityFolk\, in partnership with the Investment Agriculture Foundation\, will highlight the BC Climate Agri-Solutions Fund and discuss the practice of cover cropping for blueberry production. The BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food and E.S.Cropconsult Ltd. will highlight their On-Farm Demonstration Research project that is evaluating different cover crop mixes for supporting biological pest control. \nWe invite farmers to join us and hear from guest speakers\, tour Virasat Ag. Inc\, see a variety of cover crops\, and learn about their cover cropping program. Farmers will be able to meet other farmers in the area and learn about different operations. This will be an opportunity to hear from industry specialists\, fellow farmers\, and the owner/operator of our host farm. \n  \nLearn about cover cropping:\nCover cropping is an agricultural practice that involves planting crops specifically to improve soil health\, increase climate adaptability and promote climate mitigation. Cover crops are grown primarily for the benefits they provide to the soil and the ecosystem and\, when carefully chosen and managed\, can be highly beneficial to producers. Benefits include\, protecting the soil from erosion\, suppressing weeds\, reducing soil compaction\, increasing soil organic matter\, improving soil structure\, increasing soil water-holding capacity\, and enhancing nutrient cycling. In addition\, cover crops can provide a habitat for beneficial insects\, such as pollinators and predators of pests that can support improved crop pollination and biological pest control. \n  \nLearn about different programs and research projects:\nThe On-Farm Demonstration Research (OFDR) project\, led by the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food and E.S. Cropconsult Ltd\, provides support to producers to conduct farmer-led demonstration research to increase the adoption of regenerative practices and adapt to climate change. This field day will be a great opportunity to learn about OFDR and how you can do it on your farm! The host farm will speak to their experience setting up different cover crop mixes in blueberry alleyways to attract ground beetles for enhanced natural predation of pests. \nThe BC Living Lab\, supported through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Agricultural Climate Solutions (ACS) program. ACS supports the integration of scientific research and farming operations\, with the goal of increasing the adoption of effective practices and technologies that help farmers contribute to climate change mitigation and improve the natural environment. The BC Blueberry Council and the University of British Columbia will speak about what producer involvement may look like for the BC Living Lab in the next few years. \nDelta Farmland and Wildlife Trust (DFWT) helps farmers implement sustainable agricultural practices to improve productivity\, and maintain areas of wildlife habitat on their farms. DFWT offers two programs with cost-share incentives to help farmers plant habitats for native bees. Learn more about their research and their Hedgerow and Field Margins Programs. \nSnacks will be provided. \nClick here to register on Eventbrite.
