The Georgian Soil and Crop Improvement Association (SCIA) is holding a virtual open discussion night geared towards soil health.
The Georgian SCIA is a region in the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA), and is comprised of county associations from Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, and Simcoe, whose focus is on improving crop production and land stewardship.
To provide education to its members and increase engagement from producers across the region, the Georgian SCIA is planning a free, open Zoom discussion on July 27 from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
The keynote speaker for the event will be Dr. Lee Briese, a North Dakota soil scientist and agronomist with a Doctor of plant health.
“He is an engaging presenter who has spoken at major conferences across the U.S. and Canada and is always well received. Dr. Briese is looking forward to questions posed by audience members from which discussion can branch out. The hope is to have as many people as possible join the call, garnering lots of idea sharing and learning,” says a released from Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week Coordinator Lorie Smith.
Those who are interested in attending can email Smith at lorie@greyagservices.ca.
