The On-Farm Climate Action Fund will begin taking applications next month for its second round of funding

The $200-million program is an initiative to help farmers tackle climate change.  

The objective of the Fund is to support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices that store carbon and reduce greenhouse gases.

The program specifically focuses in on nitrogen management, cover cropping and rotational grazing practices.

The second round of funding applications for the On-Farm Climate Action Fund open on February 13th.

The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association is working solely on supporting the rotational grazing practices stream in Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec and Saskatchewan provinces.

Video: EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Welcome to the conclusion of the Getting Through Drought series, where we look at the best management practices cow-calf producers in Alberta can use to build up their resiliency against drought.

Our hope is that the series can help with the mental health issues the agriculture sector is grappling with right now. Farming and ranching are stressful businesses, but that’s brought to a whole new level when drought hits. By equipping cow-calf producers with information and words of advice from colleagues and peers in the sector on the best ways to get through a drought, things might not be as stressful in the next drought. Things might not look so bleak either.

In this final episode of the series, we are talking to Ralph Thrall of McIntyre Ranch who shares with us his experience managing grass and cows in a pretty dry part of the province.
