Tomorrow is Show Your 4-H Colours Day!

November 1st is "Show Your 4-H Colours Day" and "Global 4-H Day".

4-H members, volunteer leaders, alumni, families, and supporters will be wearing green on Wednesday as a way to celebrate everything they love about 4-H.

4-H Canada says by supporting this year's Show Your 4-H Colours Day, you’re helping connect communities from coast-to-coast, while raising awareness of the 4-H movement.

It's also an opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of 4-H youth, and how 4-H is creating responsible, caring, and contributing young leaders that effect positive change in the world around them.

4-H Canada is also celebrating its 110-year anniversary and is reminding everyone to be sure to sport green and participate in the celebration.

Be sure to post a photo of yourself wearing green, and share why you’re proud to be involved in the 4-H movement, or how 4-H has made a difference in your community using hashtag #ShowYour4HColours!

No-Till vs Tillage: Why Neighboring Fields Are World Apart

Video: No-Till vs Tillage: Why Neighboring Fields Are World Apart

“No-till means no yield.”

“No-till soils get too hard.”

But here’s the real story — straight from two fields, same soil, same region, totally different outcomes.

Ray Archuleta of Kiss the Ground and Common Ground Film lays it out simply:

Tillage is intrusive.

No-till can compact — but only when it’s missing living roots.

Cover crops are the difference-maker.

In one field:

No-till + covers ? dark soil, aggregates, biology, higher organic matter, fewer weeds.

In the other:

Heavy tillage + no covers ? starving soil, low diversity, more weeds, fragile structure.

The truth about compaction?

Living plants fix it.

Living roots leak carbon, build aggregates, feed microbes, and rebuild structure — something steel never can.
