MFGA Water Management Software Nearing Completion

 
Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association (MFGA) Executive Director Duncan Morrison says the group's Aquanty water management software project should be completed this spring.
 
The HydroGeoSphere modelling platform will focus on the Assiniboine River Basin.
 
He explained how the software will be rolled out.
 
"The model will be built and then there will be a license for people to access this model. We're working on that accessibility right now. We're looking at ways that we can get the most amount of people to access the model and they can either figure out how that model can help look at flood or drought, to help them with decisions on their own farm, as well as throughout the area."

In the spring of 2023 OMAFA, along with the University of Guelph, gathered a group of 18 producers from the beef, sheep, and dairy sectors to support a three to four year research project related to measuring grass growth in Ontario. The producers use a Rising Plate Meter to capture grass growth and record livestock movements. This presentation will explain how the group interact/support one another, some initial findings, as well as the benefits for the research team and our farm.

The purpose of the Profitable Pastures conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management
