Tropics Quiet Down as Season Passes Peak

By Pam Knox
 
The latest 5-day tropical outlook for the Atlantic shows just one area of investigation. This wave has only a 30 percent chance of developing into a tropical storm in the next five days, and once it gets farther west will run into stronger wind shear, which will make any development more difficult. We are still not out of the woods yet, but we are past the peak of the tropical season, so at least for now, farmers can breathe a sign of relief and get their harvesting down without having to worry about getting it all done in a couple of days. Don’t wait too long, though, since it is not impossible that we could still get a storm that could cause more impacts on agriculture.

Video: Grazing Network Group: What it is and how it benefits our operation

In the spring of 2023 OMAFA, along with the University of Guelph, gathered a group of 18 producers from the beef, sheep, and dairy sectors to support a three to four year research project related to measuring grass growth in Ontario. The producers use a Rising Plate Meter to capture grass growth and record livestock movements. This presentation will explain how the group interact/support one another, some initial findings, as well as the benefits for the research team and our farm.

The purpose of the Profitable Pastures conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management
