SUMMARY:Greenhouse Gas Calculator testing workshop
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Adam Hayes, Don McCabe & Peter Johnson, lunch is
  included, no charge for workshop\n\nThe Soil Conservation Council of 
 Canada (SCCC), the face and voice of soil conservation in Canada, will
  be evaluating a new computer-based tool designed to help agricultural
  producers identify opportunities to calculate and reduce greenhouse g
 as (GHG) emissions on their operations.\n\nHolos, a greenhouse gas cal
 culator designed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), analyzes 
 a range of on-farm conservation management scenarios and determines po
 tential reductions in GHG emissions. It is being evaluated by SCCC's T
 aking Charge Teams across Canada, who will test the program by pluggin
 g in real data provided by farmers. They will then report their findin
 gs to AAFC, who will modify the program into a final version for field
  use.\n\nHolos covers various conservation practices such as reduced o
 r zero tillage, rotations with perennial forages, tree planting, ripar
 ian buffers and nitrogen management, says SCCC executive director Glen
  Shaw. \"At a time when the agricultural industry is under pressure to
  reduce its carbon-based emissions, this tool offers producers the opp
 ortunity to identify and set specific reduction goals,\" he says.\n\nI
 n Ontario, the Taking Charge Team led by OSCIA Director Alan Kruszel, 
 has been performing some extension activities to raise awareness of th
 e Holos Project. In partnership with other team members from Innovativ
 e Farmers Association of Ontario and OMAFRA, they will be setting up a
  series of Holos testing workshops throughout the month of March to gi
 ve producers a chance to try out the software, and try a few mitigatio
 n practices to see what impact those practices may have on their opera
 tion's emissions. A local workshop for the Thames Valley Region of OSC
 IA will be held Friday, March 19 in Delaware. For more information, or

 nator Cathy Dibble @ 519-463-6374 or email cathy.dibble@ontariosoilcro
