About the Presentation
Have you ever wondered why we have so many different types of soil in Grey and Bruce Counties? This engaging lecture will explore:
- How our local soils were formed
- What makes one soil different from another
- How soil types affect the way they’re managed
- What makes for a “healthy” soil
About the Speaker
David Morris brings decades of expertise to this topic. His distinguished career with OMAFRA (Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) focused on nutrient management, soil fertility, and crop production practices. He’s a prolific author of reports, factsheets, and articles in the Ontario Corn Producer Magazine.
In his own words: “As a Soils and Crops Specialist, my primary function was to advise farmers on matters related to crop production and soil management practices.”
