MFGA Regen Ag Conference Going Digital This Year

Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) has made some changes to its Regenerative Ag Conference this year.
 
Duncan Morrison is the organization's executive director.
 
"A lot of the agriculture groups that rely on these annual gatherings are being forced to be creative and that's essentially what we did with our conference is that we've moved it online and expanded it. Rather than be a normal 2.5 day event, it will now be held over four nights in November."
 
Morrison filled us in on some of the topics that will be discussed.
 
"We're really keen on giving a made-in-Manitoba type focus through the words of the international speakers," he explained. "We have three international speakers that have committed to us and one local of quite prominence in Ryan Boyd, whose on our board, but also is a Nuffield Scholar 2019 and Ryan is going to be giving his first official presentation of his Nuffield Scholar travels."
