SUMMARY:Green Lightning Discussion
DESCRIPTION:A two-hour open conversation where every perspective gets a seat at the table — hosted by Keith Burns in partnership with the Ontario Soil Network. \n\n\n\nFree to attend. Open to all. \n\n\n\nWHAT THIS IS ABOUT \n\n\n\nGreen Lightning is a new technology that makes nitrogen fertilizer from air\, electricity and water. It’s started showing up on a few Ontario farms — and like any new idea\, it raises real questions. Does it hold up? What does it actually cost? What does the science say? \n\n\n\nSome of the most useful conversations in agriculture happen when people with different views are in the same room\, listening to each other. This is one of those rooms. \n\n\n\nThe thinking behind it is simple: knowledge moves faster when it’s tested out loud. We’ll hear where the science points one way\, where on-farm experience points another\, and where there’s genuine room to disagree. No one is expected to walk away converted. Everyone is expected to listen\, ask questions\, and engage honestly. This is a space grounded in science and critical thinking — and in the belief that farmers are best served by open dialogue\, not echo chambers. \n\n\n\nWHO’S AT THE TABLE \n\n\n\nKeith Burns & Gordon Alblas\, farmers — real\, hands-on experience using the technology on their own farms. \n\n\n\nDr. John Lauzon\, University of Guelph — a researcher who brings the research and the evidence. \n\n\n\nYou — after the opening perspectives\, the floor opens to everyone in the room. \n\n\n\nWHAT TO EXPECT \n\n\n\nThe format is conversation\, not lecture. A few short opening positions are followed by open discussion\, with time for questions\, pushback\, and real exchange. The boundaries are simple: hear everyone out\, disagree respectfully\, and leave with something to think about. \n\n\n\nTHE DETAILS \n\n\n\nDate: Tuesday\, July 7\, 2026 \n\n\n\nTime: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM \n\n\n\nLocation: 7026 W Garafraxa–East Garafraxa Town Line Rd\, Centre Wellington\, ON \n\n\n\nCost: Free to attend\, open to all \n\n\n\nSpace is limited. Register below to hold your spot. \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by Keith Burns in partnership with the Ontario Soil Network.
