This event is being held as part of the On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) program. The goals of the program are to encourage on-farm sequestration of carbon and reduction in greenhouse gases through the implementation of improved nitrogen management, enhanced cover crop adoption, and the normalization of rotational grazing.

Session Description

Join us this winter for an interactive, commodity-focused workshop on building knowledge around on-farm nutrient amendments. Following the workshop held at the Wolfville Farmers Market in February 2023, this session will focus on demystifying the nutritional breakdown of common amendments (e.g., manure, compost), with the goal of more precise nitrogen application. Following a short presentation, attendees will get to dive into pre-prepared sample scenarios to come up with a suitable nutrient strategy for their respective commodity. This workshop will be held at four different locations across the province. Look forward to a hands-on session focused on utilizing local resources and applying them to real on-farm examples. Bring your favourite calculator, and please register ahead so we can plan for the appropriate topics to be discussed!
