"Strengthening Agriculture, One Farm At A Time"

Cover crops are a powerful tool for improving soil health! They can help address agronomic challenges like droughty or waterlogged soils, erosion, and poor soil structure, as well as improve fertility and interrupt pest and disease cycles.

There’s a lot of info out there to wade through and the choices can get overwhelming. This training will use mentor-led and farmer-to-farmer discussions to take out some of the guesswork that comes with trying something new.

Bring your laptops and notebooks to the NPARA Office at 9:00 AM on February 2nd.
Coffee will be made and your local EFP technician(Lance) will be available to dedicate his time to help you fill in the EFP workbook so that you may get your certificate.

Certificates may be needed for certain Canadian Agricultural Partnership Grants.

If you have questions or would like to attend, please contact Josée or Lance at 780-836-3354

This webinar will discuss the value of a bull soundness evaluation (BSE) before the breeding season and how this data can help maximize bull power for your specific operation and goals.

Your sector is one piece of the puzzle that enables putting beef on the plates of Canadians. The information available from each sector has key implications for others in the industry, yet there are limitations to accessing this data at times. Join us for a panel discussion and Q&A focused on collecting and sharing data to improve the entire beef supply chain, from seedstock, cow-calf to feeding, and processing to delivery of a high-quality product.
