MFGA BLOGS
Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association takes great pride in providing producers with information, networking and insights around farming practices, trends and expertise in Manitoba.
MFGA BIRD SURVEY REPORT 2023-25 RELEASED
This three-year MFGA Bird Survey (2023–2025) explores how regenerative agriculture supports bird biodiversity on Manitoba farms. By partnering with producers and wildlife experts, MFGA monitored bird activity across a range of farm types to understand how soil health, natural habitat retention, and nature-friendly practices benefit at-risk grassland species. The findings highlight the important role MFGA farmers play in protecting ecosystems while building resilient, profitable farms.
CARBON-ERA SERIES
These days, led by the proactive push of governments and industry and the willingness to engage by producers on their lands, we all are increasingly immersed in a rapidly-moving Carbon Era as producers, agriculture groups, industry, conservation orgs and governments focus on sequestering carbon via agricultural practices across Canada’s Prairie region. In our MFGA Carbon-Era Series, we are hoping to tackle some of the uncertainties, myths and questions around carbon to help producers better understand their options, potential and next moves in the fast-moving dialogues around carbon and farmers.
ON-FARM THOUGHTS
This Blog began after MFGA held a Covid-19-reduced Annual General Meeting online November 3, 2020. At the MFGA AGM, our MFGA executive had a chance to share their reports and thoughts on the year that was and the year ahead. Larry Wegner decided to share that report to the membership on December 31, adding a Blog on “where we go from here”. And so the tradition continues with contributions from other MFGA members as well.
