Forum Discussion Board

On-farm research allows farmers to improve their knowledge and understanding of their own production systems, which in turn can improve the amount and type of information available for decision making and increase the agricultural community’s capacity to adapt to changing markets, technologies, and knowledge. It is BCFC’s hope that this guide will improve individual producers’ long term ability to conduct their own on-farm trials to test crops and production methods of interest, refine their forage production and products, and further enhance the production of high quality forage in BC. This forum is designed to provide support and ideas around utilizing the BCFC Guide to On-Farm Demonstration Research. Share ideas, share photos, share research results, ask questions! The goal is to enable farmer-to-farmer discussions and feedback within our membership. This manual was a final deliverable of the project: “Demonstrating Innovative Forage Production Practices to Increase Climate Change Adaptation (2014-2017).”
