SUMMARY:8th Annual Canadian Forage and Grassland Association Conferenc
 e
DESCRIPTION:The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association is pleased t
 o be hosting with the Ontario Forage Council its 8th annual conference
  in Guelph, Nov. 14 to 16. This year's conference theme is Next Genera
 tion Forage Cropping System: Profit Above, Wealth Below in recognition
  of the important role forage and grasslands play in providing both ec
 onomic and environmental benefits to Canadians from coast to coast.\nP
 rofit Above\nWith a direct economic value of $5.09 billion and over 70
  million acres in production, forage is the largest land use sector in
  Canadian agriculture and is the backbone of Canada's ruminant industr
 y. In 2012, exports of forages and forage seeds accounted for 4% of th
 e industry’s value.\nWealth Below\nPerennial forage crops help reduc
 e carbon because their root systems can store up to 2.7 times more car
 bon than annual crops. They sequester carbon deeper in the ground and,
  because less tilling is done on forage and grassland fields, slow the
  breakdown and release of carbon into the atmosphere. Studies indicate
  their environmental impact doubles the monetary value of $5.09 billio
 n.\nAnyone with a stake in the Canadian forage industry won’t want t
 o miss this exciting event to learn about new forage practices, networ
 k with colleagues, discover new research on forage and grasslands and 
 improve environmental practices.\nWatch the conference website for re
 gular updates on speakers and other special events or, better still, s
 ign up to receive CFGA updates.\n\nFor more information visit https://
