Warmer Weather Ahead

Jim Noel

The weather pattern has been modifying some the last several weeks to not as wet overall. We will monitor this trend but all indications are near normal rainfall can be expected the next 4 weeks. At the same time, it appears the much cooler than normal weather the last six weeks will trend toward a "slightly" warmer than normal period for the next 4 weeks. It will be mainly the night-time lows which will cause the above normal conditions. Normal highs now are in the upper 70s to lower 80s with normal lows in upper 50s to lower 60s.

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
