Producer Events
Farmers Learning From Farmers
Two Hills
Join us for a local producer meeting in Two Hills focused on practical, on-farm approaches to soil health, grazing, and new technology being used across Western Canada. This evening is built around real experience, applied research, and open producer discussion. Keegan Miller will kick things off with a practical look at cover crops, soil function, and how producers are using diversity to improve resilience and profitability in their systems. Lance Ouellette, Research Scientist with LARA, will walk through OFCAF funding, outlining available programs, eligible practices, and how producers can access funding to support on-farm projects. Wrapping up the night, Nick Kunec, a local producer, will share his firsthand experience using virtual fencing on his operation — what’s working, what surprised him, and how it’s changed his grazing management. Dinner is provided, with plenty of time for questions, discussion, and connecting with other local producers.

Elbow
Join local producers for an evening discussion focused on cover crops, grazing integration, and the economics of plant diversity. Dakota 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 which provides coverage when there is a shortage of soil moisture. It uses satellite-based technology to measure soil moisture, an important factor in forage production.
