SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Seeding Red Clover After Wheat
DESCRIPTION:Dean Orr is opening his fields near King City for a morning on red clover seeded after winter wheat. \nWe’ll walk the stand and talk through what Dean is seeing — how the clover established\, where it sits in his rotation\, and what he’d do differently next time. This is a straightforward look at a rotation decision a lot of wheat growers are weighing\, from a farmer who has run it. \nFrom the field we move to saving seed to seed. Dean will take us through the cleaning process and the equipment behind it — the step that usually happens out of sight\, and the one most people have never watched up close. \nThe morning wraps with a light lunch and time to talk shop with other growers working through the same questions. \nWhat we’ll cover \n\nRed clover fields planted after winter wheat harvest — establishment\, stand quality\, and how it fits the rotation\nSaving seed to seed\, including the seed cleaning process and equipment\nOpen discussion and networking over a light lunch\n\nDetails \n\nWhen: Tuesday\, September 1\, 2026 · 9:00 – 11:30 am ET\nWhere: 12740 Mill Road\, King City\, ON L7B 1K4\nCost: Free — light lunch included\nRegistration: Required. We need a headcount for lunch and space.\n\nRegister for the morning → \n\nPartnership and accreditation \nThis event is offered in partnership with Farmers for Climate Solutions’ Farm Resilience Mentorship Program (FaRM). \nIt is also an OSCIA Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE). If you have an On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) project in the Cover Crops category\, attending counts toward your Knowledge Sharing requirement.

SUMMARY:Farm Tour: Compost and Soil Biology
DESCRIPTION:Chuck Desmarais is opening Desmarais Family Farms near Stoney Point for a morning on compost and soil biology. \nChuck composts on farm and extracts nutrients from it for his field crops. He’ll walk through how that process actually runs — what goes in\, how it’s managed\, and how the extract gets used in the field. \nFrom there\, into his on-farm lab. Chuck uses microscopes to look at soil biology himself\, on the farm\, rather than sending everything away and waiting. He’ll show what the setup looks like and what he’s looking at when he sits down at it. \nThe morning finishes in the field\, walking the ground the composting process feeds. \nWhat we’ll cover \n\nComposting on farm\, and extracting nutrients from compost for field crop production\nChuck’s on-farm lab — using microscopes to take a closer look at soil biology\nA field tour of the fields that the composting process feeds\n\nDetails \n\nWhen: Thursday\, September 3\, 2026 · 9:30 – 11:30 am ET\nWhere: 11325 Lakeshore Rd 302\, Stoney Point\, ON\nCost: Free to attend\, open to all\nRegistration: Required.
