Forage
Lets talk GRAZING!
There is some sizeable funding to take advantage of for producers who want to implement rotational grazing.
This winter there will be Grazing Club meetings held in Consort, Pollockville and the surrounding areas. The Grazing Clubs are for producers to socialize and learn from industry, research, and other local producers on best management practices including grazing, nutrition, herd health, and more!
To join a GC and learn about our upcoming meetings contact cara-3@telus.net or 403-664-3777
Soil
Yamily and her team are busy in the lab and in the field gathering soil tests to assist producers on best management practices to improve soil health and crop production.
