About the event

Breakfast Plot Tour: Digging Deeper - Soil testing, forage & drought
Join us for a field-side breakfast and a hands-on tour of our drought resilience demonstration plots in Brazeau County!

This engaging morning event is designed for farmers, ranchers, and land stewards interested in soil health, forage productivity, and practical strategies for building resilience to drought.

Get your boots on the ground and dig into a live research site where we’re testing four drought-tolerant forage species under two seeding methods—broadcast vs. no-till drill. We’ll explore early findings from this project designed to evaluate:
> Water infiltration & soil compaction
> Plant performance and forage quality
> Soil health across dark grey Chernozemic soils
> W**d suppression

What to Expect
> Free breakfast and informal networking
> Guided tour of our forage drought-resilience research plots
> Hands-on demonstrations of soil health tests, including water infiltration, compaction, and Brix readings
> Side-by-side comparison of broadcast vs. no-till seeding methods
> Q&A with Norm Dueck, a soil testing expert from A&L Labs
> Insights from Kimberley Cornish of the Food Water Wellness Foundation
> Practical takeaways for improving soil function and forage performance under dry conditions.

This is an informal, interactive event—bring your questions and curiosity!

Free Breakfast Provided!
