Yorkton
Join local producers for an afternoon discussion focused on cover crops, grazing integration, and the economics of plant diversity. Dakota Odgers from Covers & Co. will share real-world insights on how diverse cropping systems and livestock integration can work together on the farm, what to consider when getting started, and where the numbers need to make sense. The presentation will be followed by open discussion, questions, and peer-to-peer conversation around what’s working, what isn’t, and how producers are adapting cover crops to fit their own operations. In addition, SCIC will be presenting on the Satellite Forage Insurance and Assiniboine Watershed will be providing program and operational updates.

Valleyview
Join us for a Local Producer Meeting in Valleyview hosted by Covers & Co. This evening is a chance for local producers to connect, share experiences, and talk through practical ways cover crops can fit into real farm operations. Keegan Miller with Covers & Co. will lead the discussion, drawing on field experience working with producers across Western Canada. Keegan will cover how different cover crop blends can support soil health, extend grazing opportunities, improve water infiltration, and help build more resilient cropping systems. The discussion will focus on practical applications, what has worked in the field, and lessons learned from producers already integrating covers into their rotations. This is a relaxed, producer-focused meeting with plenty of time for questions and conversation. Whether you’re already using cover crops or just starting to explore the idea, it’s a good opportunity to learn from others and talk through what could work on your farm.

Cypress River
Join us in Cypress River for a practical Local Producer Meeting focused on forage performance and real-world cover crop management. Joe Gardiner with Covers & Co. will walk through how cover crops can fit into livestock and forage systems, what’s working locally, and what to consider when selecting blends for grazing, soil health, and feed value. Expect straightforward discussion around establishment, timing, and making cover crops pay on your operation. DLF Pickseed will also be on hand to talk through their forage seed lineup, including options for pasture rejuvenation, silage, hay production, and multi-species blends. They’ll cover seed selection considerations and how to match products to your soil type and management goals. This session is built for producers looking for practical insight, solid agronomy, and usable takeaways heading into the season.
