Past Online Event: Day on a Farm
Hosted by the Kootenay & Boundary Farm Advisors (KBFA)
Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2026
Ranchers Doug and Erika Fossen presented an evening photo tour of day-to-day life over a typical year on their ranch. For nine years, through the Ag in the Classroom program, Doug and Erika have shared this tour to help educate people about the cattle industry. The Fossens operated a 2,300-acre ranch outside Rock Creek, where they ran a cow/calf operation and grew alfalfa, silage corn, and mixed grass hay. They are passionate environmental stewards and were constantly working on habitat enhancement projects and innovations to improve the landscape, including rotational grazing. This presentation offered a snapshot of their passion for farming and provided an opportunity to share with the public and fellow farmers their day-to-day activities involved in growing crops and raising livestock.
