This is an Online workshop taking place on Feb 23, 6:00-9:00 pm MT.

Cut your fertilizer bills and protect your yields by learning how to catch nitrogen ‘leaks’. Fertilizer is expensive and we know no one wants to spend more than necessary!  In this workshop, Kabal Singh from GRO and Karthi Narayanan, Ph.D, from Cropland Solutions Inc. will help you better understand the nitrogen cycle. They’ll explain how to optimize your applications so each crop gets exactly what it needs to thrive and how to incorporate alternative sources of N, like legumes, manure, and compost.

In this training you’ll gain tools to help you:

• Improve your bottom line while helping the land at the same time

• Become less dependent on inputs and international supply chains

• Explore alternative nitrogen sources like manure and cover crops

• Level-up your understanding of the nitrogen cycle

You will also gain access to free online courses, resources, access to farmer mentors and also farmer social networks in your area to help you implement these practices on your farm through the FaRM program at www.farmlearninghub.ca.
