A new avenue for the organization is the GrainTalk Webinar series. This webinar series will provide farmer-members with relevant information, resources and tools to make decisions to be economically sustainable while meeting their commitments to the environment and society.

We hope to introduce enhancements that are relevant and beneficial to farmers and industry.

The first webinar is titled Targeting Pest Management and takes place on April 4 from 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. During this webinar participants will hear from industry experts to discuss early season field topics to benefit their operation.

Topics include CleanFarms with Russel Hurst and managing weeds, pre-plant with Mike Cowbrough.

Register online at www.gfo.ca and follow along on twitter using #GrainTalk for updates.
