Managing Nitrogen with Gerard Grubb
June 18, 2026 · 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM 585 Bruce County Rd 3, Walkerton, ON
Join us in visiting Gerard Grubb Farms to learn about the innovative ways Gerard is managing nitrogen near Walkerton.
On June 18, he’s opening his farm to walk through what he’s learning about nitrogen management — including results from his 2025 strip trials and what he has planned for 2026.
What’s on the agenda:
- Adaptive Nitrogen Trials: OSN, EFAO, and FCS have partnered with farmers to run replicated strip trials on nitrogen rates in corn following a cover crop. Gerard shares what his 2025 trial showed about nitrogen rate and how he’s taking it further in 2026.
- Upside Robotics: Upside is testing autonomous robots designed to improve the management of nitrogen in corn. Come see them running and hear about the challenges and opportunities of autonomous robots in cash crop systems.
Meet at Gerard’s shop — we’ll carpool to the field together.
Free to attend. Open to all.
Organized by Ontario Soil Network in partnership with EFAO, FCS, and Upside Robotics.
