Profitability of Soil Health Day

Healthy soils don’t just grow better crops — they can strengthen your bottom line. Join us at the Brigden Fairgrounds for a full day on how soil health connects to farm profitability, with farmers sharing what’s actually worked on their own ground.

What you’ll take away:

• Farmers talking honestly about the benefits healthy soils have brought to their operations
• Cover crops and their role in building and maintaining soil health, with Laura Van Eerd, professor of sustainable soil management at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown campus
• How soil sampling can be used as a practical tool, with Derrick Leclair, CCA
• A stop at a nearby demonstration farm to see it in the field

Lunch is included — registration is required to reserve your spot (and your lunch).

Presented in partnership with the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority and the Ontario Soil Network.

This event is offered in partnership with the Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM) and is an OSCIA Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for farmers with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Cover Crops Category.
