Living Lab-Ontario: Making a Conservation Farming System Work

For Henry Denotter “it is all about the water”.  Henry will discuss his no-till practices, cropping systems and equipment modifications that he uses to reduce water quality impacts and improve his soil health and crop yields. Henry will be joined by researchers from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the ONFARM project who will share results of the various studies conducted on his farm.

Learn how Henry is improving soil health, reducing water quality impacts and increasing biodiversity on his farm. Henry will discuss his tillage methods and crop rotations along with his equipment modifications. Researchers from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Living Lab Ontario project and the ONFARM project will share water quality and field trial results. Researchers will take us below the soil surface and explain what is going on below the field in the soil pit.
