Heading out for my morning #IAGLR24 run and saw this unfortunate event. Here’s hoping everyone is ok, even with the building being in a position that looks to be unrecoverable.

What's not to love about this 7 seed #CoverCrop mix? Grown in #EssexCounty on clay soil after wheat. Mix includes hairy vetch, winter peas, oats, rye, sunflowers, and more!

With close to 1% ice cover this week, the Great Lakes may reach new extremes now and later in the spring. Thanks @CBCRadioCanada reporting on the continued loss of ice cover this week.

I wasn't planning on looking at #covercrops today, good thing my boots are stored in my trunk so I'm #alwaysreadyforfieldwork This field has oats and tillage radish growing to keep the soil in place during winter rain events like today! #womeninSTEM #LifeAfterPhD

If you are really lucky, you'll find incredible partners like Henry Denotter. Henry created this to represent his vision - the fish is for water, what it's all about. The wrenches are the technologies we use to reduce nutrient loss and the eye represents the monitoring we do🚜🌊

The message "It's all about the water" belongs to champion farmer Henry Denotter. He works tirelessly with multiple agencies to improve water quality in ag watersheds. For the time being, that doesn't include conservation authority's due to funding cuts

Algae in Lake Erie was once so bad its western basin was declared “dead” — a catastrophe name-dropped in Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. Clean-up efforts worked for a bit, but it’s full of algae again, & southwestern Ontario’s exploding greenhouse sector won’t help: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-lake-e…

In response to a report we recently prepared on a decade's worth of data from greenhouse influenced streams, I had the opportunity to speak w/@FerRural to contribute to an article for @thenarwhalca to shed light on this local issue affecting water quality

Bare fields after #wheat harvest are the perfect blank slate for #CoverCrops to help reduce soil erosion and nutrient loss! ERCA has grants available to offset costs. For more information or to apply for grants, contact mdick@erca.org or visit buff.ly/3V4eL5Q #OntAg
