Save the Date! Fall Field Days & Workshops 2023
There’s some great fall field days and workshops coming up this fall.
Join us for these upcoming events, where you will gain valuable insights, learn from industry experts, and connect with fellow farmers.
Here’s what we’ve got coming up:
1. Soil Fertility Management and Winter Crop Production (September 21st)
Are you curious about ways to improve soil health, boost fertility, and increase your winter crop production?
Have you ever considered incorporating hazelnut production into your farm?
Attend this KBFA field day to hear from Zachary Fleming, a professional agrologist and the president of the BC Hazelnut Growers Association about the what, why and how of getting into the hazelnut industry including market outlook, sector opportunities, and long-term management. The field day will be hosted at a recently planted hazelnut orchard in Creston where we will also discuss orchard planning and establishment, nutrition and propagation. Participants will also visit another nearby hazelnut orchard with older trees and coppice management on tighter spacing.
3. October Clinics: Low-Stress Livestock Handling with Dylan Biggs
Are you interested in honing your livestock handling skills to reduce stress for both you and your animals?
Join Dylan Biggs and KBFA at a two-day intensive livestock handling clinic to bring your stockmanship to the next level!
Dylan Biggs, owner and operator of TK Ranch, is a leader when it comes to low stress handling and his handling methods are well recognized by the livestock industry.
