Are you participating in the Ontario On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF)? Make sure to attend a Knowledge Sharing Event (KSE)!
Attending an approved KSE is a program requirement and a great opportunity to learn more about the beneficial management practice you’re implementing and support the long-term success of your project.
Our calendar is regularly updated with demonstrations, webinars, workshops and more. Explore upcoming events and find one that fits your schedule: https://t.co/exouk7vPX6

Farmland & nature don’t have to compete.
Programs like @ALUS_Solutions and SCRCA's SPRI, that support soil health, habitat restoration, and water quality improvements, help farmers strengthen both their operations and the environment.
Collaborative conservation work across watersheds is more important than ever.

Did you know that Ontario is in the midst of launching a Soil Health Test? 🌾
That’s right, since 2023 Ontario farmers, advisors, researchers, and labs have been piloting a 5-indicator approach to soil health testing.

What are some of the SCRCA team up to this #EarthDay? Hosting a jam-packed SHSM conference for our future farmers and agriculturally interested youth in the Lambton/Chatham-Kent area!
Will share more as the day goes on!
I would like to give a shout out to @stclairregionca in the work they are doing getting youth interested in agriculture. Today my grade 11 student is attending this student conference which focuses on grade 10-12 student interested in agricultural trades. #ontag
@BirnamPork Thank you for sharing :) We're looking forward to today's conference and love to see all the students engaging in our "Future Farmers" programming!
We can help you reduce phosphorus & soil runoff!
The SCRCA has funding available for:
🌻 Cover crops
🚜 Equipment for no-till
🪨 Soil testing, 4R practices, & more!
Find out more here or contact us today: https://t.co/kGJTQQ1KPM
#ONFarm#LambtonCounty#MiddlesexCounty
Cover crops and no-till can improve water quality by reducing phosphorus and sediment in runoff. However, they need to be paired with other BMPs (such as the 4Rs).

While we would have a longer growing season here in #SWOnt, the risks of flooding & drought will continue to rise. BMPs can help adapt & prepare farming operations for a more resilient future:
🌲 Plant trees for windbreaks
🌾 Naturalize areas near flood-prone waterways
🌱 Grassed waterways
🌻 Plant green: cover crops, strip tillage, or bio strips
We can help - contact us for more info & potential funding streams! #ONFarm #OntarioFarming
By the end of this century, most communities in Ontario will experience a longer growing season, a shorter winter season, more days of extreme heat, more precipitation, and an increase in overall temperatures. Learn more in our Climate Change Factsheet ➡️https://t.co/OEBLybk0Fj
The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority Board of Directors will hold their April meeting at 10:00 am today at the SCRCA Administration Building in Strathroy.
