The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association is very pleased to be working with the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association to host the 7th Annual CFGA Conference at the Fairmont Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, November 15-17, 2016.
Planning is well underway for this year’s conference and the overall theme is Grass and Green in 2016 to recognize the important role of Canadian forage and grassland managers in providing significant environmental and economic benefits to Canadians from coast to coast.
Using Manitoba’s productive forage and grassland scene as the backdrop, the 2016 Annual CFGA Conference will highlight how the Canadian forage and grassland sector is a critical foundation for sustainable growth and development throughout Canada’s agriculture industry.
Key topic areas at this year’s conference include:
- Economics of forage production
- Environmental benefits of grass on the landscape
