Although details have yet to be announced, the annual conference organized by the Northern Ontario Food Innovation Alliance (NOFIA) has in the past provided a venue for local-area producers and researchers to share agricultural research and best practices for use in the specific clime of Northern Ontario.

Registration is free for the virtual event.

Originally scheduled as an in-person event, NOFIA has shifted gears towards having it continue in 2022 as a virtual expo—which is why details about the event, including the roster of speakers, topics, and registration, will be made available soon.

Video: Beyond the Kernel: How Horning Builds Better Forage & Grain Processing | Part 2 with Leon Horning?

In Part 2 of our conversation with Leon Horning of Horning Manufacturing, we dig deeper into the technology behind better forage and grain processing.

Leon shares insights into kernel processing and KP scores, processor roll design, high-moisture corn, stationary roller mills, equipment efficiency, horsepower requirements, durability, and reducing downtime during harvest. We also explore Horning’s Straight Tooth, Sawtooth and Fibertech Chevron rolls, along with the Shredder Mill and other equipment designed around real-world farming needs.

It’s a practical conversation about how the right processing technology can help producers get more value from their feed, equipment, and harvest.
