Event Description

Please save the date for the Georgian Central SCIA Compaction Day, Thursday July 16th, 2026, at Tupling Farms in Redickville ON.

The day will see a wide variety of soil compaction demonstrations – everything from grain buggys, to combines and potato harvesters, to forage equipment! Implements are driven over underground pressure sensors which send real-time data to a giant presentation screen at the field’s edge. Commentators keep the day rolling: interpreting data, relaying equipment metrics and sparking discussion with the audience.

On top of the compaction demos, the event will also highlight hands on education stations on cover crops, manure management and tire ballasting. Producers can browse a tradeshow and check out additional equipment on display all day long too!

Tickets are $30.00 for OSCIA members and $50.00 for non-members, with a catered lunch included. Not an OSCIA member yet, but would like to become one? Purchase your membership before your tickets here!

K-State plans three meetings to outline winter canola management

Kansas and Oklahoma canola growers will have three opportunities in early August to learn how the crop fits into profitable, sustainable cropping systems across the Great Plains.

K-State watershed specialists, livestock experts emphasize importance of water sources

Water is likely the most important nutrient in raising livestock, and yet Kansas State University Extension cow-calf specialist Jason Warner says it is often the most overlooked. “A big reason why many of our pastures and rangelands go underutilized is simply due to a lack of access to high-quality, abundant water resources,” Warner said. Warner said many beef operations in Kansas and similar regions do not have abundant groundwater or access to rural water systems. Instead, they rely heavily on surface water sources to supply their cow-calf herds, stocker cattle and replacement heifers. Springs, ponds and other natural sources such as creeks and streams are a critical part of the ranch’s bottom line and long-term sustainability. “If we think about a ranch or an operating unit that has underdeveloped water resources versus one that has developed and high quality and abundant watering resources, that can certainly add a tremendous amount of value to that operation just in and of itse
