#51 Fuelling Rumens - What We Can Do From Field to Feed Bunk

Growing great forages is paramount to helping ruminants stay healthy and productive. Come and learn what rumens need for fuel, and how we can work with Mother Nature to achieve success.

#52 Biologicals as Part of a Soil Health System - Where to Start?

Incorporating biologicals into crop production can be confusing and overwhelming. Many different types of biological products exist: organic acids (humics and fulvics), amino acids (protein hydrolysates), extracts (seaweed, plant), and microbials. Understanding what different biological products do, what you want to achieve on your acres to select the most appropriate biological products, and how to best handle and deliver them is important for improving outcomes in the field.

#53 Herbicide resistance in Ontario: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly...

Herbicide resistance has been around in Ontario for 6 decades and it is not going anywhere. Despite the challenges it poses, farmers in the province have been able to deal and manage it. This presentation will cover how we got where we are but will focus mostly on the most recent developments and what we can expect when management is concerned.

#54 Challenges in Corn Pest Management

Experienced CCAs discuss what corn pests they are finding challenging in Eastern Ontario.
