  • Hi and Welcome to the podcast! My name is Chantel McRae and I will be your host. I started working for MBFI in January of 2022 as an Extension Specialist with the goal of increasing awareness and information regarding the projects and important research happening at MBFI. One of the ways we have decided to do that is through a podcast that shares information on the research projects that are being conducted here, as well as extension events and on farm practices and technologies. MBFI is a not for profit organization developed through partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Beef Producers, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association with direction from stakeholders collaborating for the advancement of the industry. MBFI’s mission is to advance the Manitoba beef and forage industry by engaging stakeholders, evaluating on-farm innovation, and extension for sustainability of farmers, the public and the environment. In short we Engage, Evaluate and Extend. MBFI’s Goal is to promote excellence, efficiency, and sustainability of practice in the agricultural industry in Manitoba for the dual benefit of the public and the environment by conducting on-farm research and field testing of practices related to beef cattle and forage production and disseminating the results to farmers and the public, as well as through providing hands-on learning opportunities and work placements for the development of professionals entering beef cattle and forage production. We will be sharing information through interviews with General Manager, Mary Jane Orr, project leads for various projects, MBFI team members, speakers from our extension events, industry leaders and industry suppliers. This podcast will dig deep into on-farm research and field testing practices related to beef cattle and forage production and efficiency and sustainability of practice in the agricultural industry in Manitoba. We will be sharing information on upcoming training and workshops, field and farm demonstration tours, education materials and events at MBFI, as well as producer profiles from around the province and information on their own trials, challenges, innovation and results.

  • The Impact of Grazing Management on Sequestering Carbon with Aaron Glen (AAFC)
    2024/11/06

    Dr. Aaron Glenn is a Research Scientist specializing in micrometeorology and has worked at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Brandon since 2011. He has a Ph.D. in Soil Science from the University of Manitoba. His area of expertise and research interests relate the impact that weather and climate have on crop production and the influence that agricultural production systems have on greenhouse gas emissions and air quality. Dr. Glenn is a past President of the Canadian Society of Agricultural and Forest Meteorology and the Manitoba Soil Science Society. He has served as a subject matter expert reviewing methodological changes to the estimates of sequestration and emissions of Carbon Dioxide and Nitrous Oxide from agricultural lands in Canada for the National Inventory Report of Greenhouse Gas sources and sinks.

    In today’s episode, Aaron shares information on his position with Agriculture and Agri Food Canada and some of the projects he is currently working on. He also shares his experience working with Eastern Prairie Living Labs.

    Aaron’s current research focuses on studying how grazing management can impact sequestering carbon vs. methane emissions from the cattle. He also shares the tools he is using to take these measurements and what information is being collected using these tools. While this research has been ongoing for a few years, it is still early in the research that Aaron hopes to do in this area.

    Aaron shares the trends he is seeing from his research thus far and we discuss how this research and carbon sequestration impacts the environment and producers.

    Much of this work has been completed on Lowry Farms, with Glen and Pam Lowry, who were profiled in Episode 71, sharing their experiences working with the Living Labs and about their farm and grazing practices.

    To Contact Aaron, you can call him at 204-578-6585 or email aaron.glen@agr.gc.ca

  • Producer Profile with Glen and Pam Lowry (Lowry Farms)
    2024/10/30

    Glen and Pam own and operate a Beef Farm near Darlingford, MB. They are dedicated to raising their cattle using sustainable practices. The land they farm on has been in their family for 125 years, and they raised their three boys on the original homestead.

    Their commitment to the land is illustrated by the fact that they are participating in a Agriculture and AgriFood Canada long term research project that compares the carbon sequestration of their grassland pastures to the methane emission of the cattle.

    They were recipients of the 2023 TESA The Environmental Stewardship Award award, and the 2023 Redboine Watershed District Award. Lowry Farms includes 220 acres of pasture and 100 acres of sensitive wetlands. Their cattle herd includes 85 commercial cow-calf pairs. Extended grazing, and rotational grazing are part of their daily routine. They are always striving to improve uses that benefit their beef operation, while at the same time being good stewards of the land.

    In today’s episode, Glen and Pam Lowry share all about Lowry Farms. They start with sharing their decision and transition from mixed farming to focusing solely on cattle and grass production and how they came to today where their main focus is capturing as much rainfall as they can each year to preserve moisture and produce grass. Along with this, they have done and continue to do a lot of work to protect land and water resources. Their dedication to the land and environment was recognized in 2023, when they were the recipients of both The Environmental Stewardship Award and Watershed District Awards in 2023.

    Glen and Pam have also been featured on Great Tastes of Manitoba. To view their episode, please visit the link listed below.

    Glen and Pam share information on their summer grazing plan, fence and water infrastructure and winter feeding, and what they have noticed in the soil health, grass production and overall ecosystem on their farm as a result of their grazing practices and management.

    Glen and Pam are participating in the Manitoba Association of Watershed Living Lab Eastern Prairies and have collaborated with a number of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada researchers. One aspect of this has been working with Aaron Glen on measuring methane production vs. carbon sequestration while grazing. They share a bit about the preliminary findings of this research, as well as about other research that has been conducted on their farm.

    For more information about the research on measuring methane and carbon sequestration, please tune into our next episode featuring Aaron Glen.
