SUMMARY:Fraser Valley Field Day: Cover Cropping
DESCRIPTION:This field day is geared toward all BC farmers interested in learning more about cover cropping in agriculture. \nRegister here. \nCover cropping is a method of planting that helps build healthy soil and can be practiced in any farming operation. Cover cropping keeps the ground covered and helps with continued carbon sequestration in non-production areas. They significantly reduce emissions from nitrogen fertilizers by providing healthy nutrients to the soil. When carefully chosen and appropriately managed\, cover crops can benefit production for farmers and help mitigate climate change. \nFarmers will have a chance to see three large test plots with a cover crop mix planted with corn. Each plot receives a different application and is monitored for productivity. Soil sampling is done regularly\, and data is recorded diligently to create a useful report when the trial ends. Farmers will have access to this data and information on how each plot performs. The field day will include a field walk to each plot where attendees can asses the cover crops growing\, our host will speak about the process and results for each plot and answer questions\, and additional guest speakers will lend their experience and expertise to support learning. \nAbout the Host Farm \nThe ReFeed Farm is located in the heart of the Fraser River delta in Langley\, BC. They work directly with partner farms to develop programs\, best practices\, and new products to help farmers build healthy soil and growing systems. ReFeed works with Davistead farms\, a family-run business that has been farming in the Langley Township for over 100 years. Davistead raises dairy cattle\, growing forage crops on their land for feed. ReFeed Farms utilizes acreage on Davistead Farms to experiment with growing cover crops amongst forage crops\, monitoring for performance and changes in the soil. They plant a mixed cover crop species amongst their corn crop\, on three plots that receive different applications. \nRobby Gass \nRobby Gass is the Soil Specialist at ReFeed Farms\, bringing 25 years of experience in organic farming and deep expertise in soil microscopy and management. He has decades of experience in conventional farming and spent over a decade running an organic herb farm in South Africa. Robby broadened his in understanding and expertise with a series of roles as an educator and consultant in horticulture and organic farming while earning an MSc in organic farming from SRUC Glasgow University. He attended Dr. Elaine Ingham’s world-renowned Soil Foodweb School in Oregon where he was awarded a certificate in soil microscopy. \nDrew Bondar \nDrew is the Metro Vancouver Regional Agrologist for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and former Executive Director of Delta Farmland and Wildlife Trust. Drew has years of experience  working with farmers to enhance farmland for soil health and wildlife habitat. He is the Founder of a small business that rescues and delivers off-grade produce and has experience working across the food supply chain. With dual degrees in agroecology and civil engineering\, Drew’s educational background has provided training in a wide range of disciplines from project management to soil biology. \nConley Keyes\nConley is a Regional Agrologist for Sea to Sky\, Sunshine Coast\, and Central Fraser Valley working in the Extension and Support Services Branch for the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Conley has degrees from Northern Alberta Instituate of Technology and University of British Columbia is geological technology and agroecology and sustainable agriculture.

SUMMARY:Seeding Rates and On-Farm Measurements
DESCRIPTION:Crop selection and seeding rates are an important strategy for optimizing yield. With the broad range of growing conditions in the Kootenays from soils to climate\, each farm needs to make their own decisions based on individual farm circumstance and goals. At this event\, we will hear producers who have experimented with seeding rates to hear what strategies they suggest to measure success and get the seeding rate right for your farm. \n  \nThis event is PART TWO of our series to foster and promote farmer led on-farm research.  PART ONE was Indicators of Soil Health and On-Farm Measurements. The next event in the series is PART THREE: How to Design Your Own ON-Farm Research Project (workshop). \n  \nFree! Register here. \n  \nPRESENTERS: \nWayne Ray\, forage producer in Vanderhoof\, will share his experience with trialing different crop varieties and seeding rates for optimal alfalfa yields. Read about Wayne’s project here.  \nTyler Morrison\, forage producer and rancher in Cranbrook\, will share his experience with trialing different seeding rates and varieties of Sorghum sudan grass. Read about Tyler’s project here.   \nDr. Catherine Tarasoff  of AgroWest Consulting will introduce producers to new research templates so that producers can plan and conduct their own on-farm research. The goal of the research templates is to inspire producers to experiment with methods to optimize farm production goals and think about practical methods to keep records and measure success.
