Farmers within the Westlake Watershed District are encouraged to attend a special speaker series event on Wednesday.
It'll begin at 9 AM at Ste. Rose Community Centre, with topics including cover cropping, improving pasture species content, and nitrogen and fertilizer management.
Evan Musgrove, with the Westlake Watershed District, says this event will be beneficial to farmers in that area.
"Our main focus is to hand out money, basically for farmers to improve their impact on the Watershed. But, we also find that education is equally as important to roll out these programs effectively. If people really do not know what they are doing, or they need more experience, this is a great way to lessen the learning curve on all of these new practices that we are trying to improve the land with."
Because the funding is only for residents within the Westlake Watershed District, Musgrove encourages only farmers from that area attend this free event.
