Registration required.\n\nCorn and wheat growers across Grey-Bruce\, and anyone else who wants to see these practices on local ground. Crop advisors and agronomists are welcome. \nHosted by\nMark Ribey and Harry Biermans at Biermans Farms\, convened by the Ontario Soil Network. In partnership with Parrish & Heimbecker. \nThe OSN Road Trip is our summer season of farmer-hosted stops running June through September. Each one is hosted by a farmer\, on their own ground.

SUMMARY:Learning from the Field: Biological Inputs\, Bioregional Supply Chains\, and the Question of Where Regenerative Agriculture May Be Headed
DESCRIPTION:The Collective Action Program (CAP) for Regenerative Agriculture invites farmers\, researchers\, and agricultural professionals across Southwestern Ontario to Learning from the Field\, a full day educational forum hosted at Ivey Business School. The day features four confirmed speakers: keynote Rick Clark (Southern Indiana)\, John Benitz of Libertas Land\, Simeon Kleinsasser of Hiwassee Products\, and local farmer Chuck Desmarais of Desmarais Family Farms\, exploring biological inputs and what a more bioregional agricultural supply chain could look like. The central question of the day is whether regional agri food systems can reduce or eliminate dependence on synthetic inputs while remaining ecologically and economically viable\, and what a more bioregional supply chain for those inputs might look like. \nLearning from the Field is organized by CAP in partnership with the Ontario Soil Network and hosted at Ivey Business School. \n*This event is an OSCIA-recognized Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE) for applicants with On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) projects in the Nitrogen Management category. \n  \nThe details\n  \nDate: Tuesday\, November 17\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 am – 3:30 pm (doors open up at 8:30 am for registration and networking) \nLocation: BMO Auditorium\, Ivey Business School – 1255 Western Rd\, London\, ON N6G 0N1 \nCost: Tickets are $25 as an early bird price through November 11\, rising to $50 starting November 12\, a fraction of the event’s $75 value thanks to event sponsorship. Lunch is included. \n
