AIM Winter Workshops – Soil Health
January 21 - January 22
Our first AIM Winter Workshop series will be held Jan 21-22. The topic will be soil health and cover cropping, and our guest speaker will be Kate Vander Zaag of P&K Vander Zaag Farms of Alliston, Ontario. Kate farms with her husband Peter and family, growing primarily chipstock potatoes. Their farm prioritizes practices aimed at improving soil health, including cover cropping, optimizing crop rotation, use of soil amendments (including on-farm composting) and integrated pest management. Following Kate’s presentation, I will share preliminary results of some AIM trials from 2024, including results from trials on nitrogen credits from legumes, rotational grazing, and more.
