June 20, 2023 7pm Panel discussion on drought strategies and resilience
The Alberta Forage Industry Network (AFIN) is hosting a zoom webinar event to talk about managing through dry conditions.
From AFIN website:
“Join us for a chat about the current drought situation in Alberta and the mental health impacts it can have on those facing difficult decisions and stresses. Program Director Linda Hunt from AgKnow.ca will join us to discuss strategies for cow calf operations to deal with potential drought, including coping with the mental stresses that can arise. We’ll explore solutions for challenges such as selling off part of a herd, purchasing expensive feed, and managing short and long term financial stress caused by drought.
This webinar is free to attend and will be posted on our website, YouTube and Podcast platforms after for you to listen to and share.”
Feel free to promote the event to the producers in your area that may be interested.
About AFIN:
“Up until 2002 the the Alberta Forage Council represented the interests of the forage industry in Alberta. However, in 2002, the Council merged with applied research associations to become the Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA). ARECA has evolved to become a a broader umbrella organization representing the whole agriculture industry in Alberta. Several consultations were held with all facets of the Alberta forage industry between the years 2007 and 2010 to see if there was an interest/need to to have an organization representing the forages in Alberta. This resulted in the formation of the Alberta Forage Industry Network Society or “AFIN” in 2010.
AFIN is directed and managed by an eight member board of directors along with an advisor from Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and an advisor from the Agri-environment Services Branch of AAFC. The board Members are located across the province.” AFIN website http://www.albertaforages.ca June 2023.
