Ontario farmers can now access a no-cost Farmland Health Check-Up to boost soil health, reduce erosion, and improve productivity.
The Farmland Health Check-Up (FHCU) is a free program designed to help Ontario farmers take a closer look at their fields and identify opportunities for improvement. Working alongside a Certified Crop Advisor or Professional Agrologist, you’ll assess key factors like erosion, soil organic matter, and nutrient use.
This hands-on, field-based assessment covers:
- Water, wind, and tillage erosion
- Subsurface compaction
- Soil life and chemistry
- Phosphorus and nitrogen management
- Pollinator health
The process uses a digital workbook to evaluate three fields, establish baseline conditions, and set targets for improvement. It’s a practical tool for long-term planning and implementing best management practices where they matter most.
No sign-up required. No eligibility screening. Simply connect with an advisor and start your free assessment.
