Title: Cover Crops for Break Years: Improving the Soil for Perennial Production
Description: Incorporating cover crops into your break years can effectively control problem weeds,restore lost fertility, and improve soil structure. This presentation will discuss how these practices can fit into your farming system, which cover crops to use, and how to strike a balance between building soil health and maintaining a steady cash flow.
Speaking, Teaching, & Workshop Design
Hire me for your next event. I’ve given presentations (online and in-person), taught courses at Lethbridge College to diploma & degree students, and created workshops. A full list of my work is on my “Media” page. Most events are not recorded but a few have made it to YouTube. I’m up for just about anything so let me know what you need and we’ll go from there.

Consulting Packages
I do not sell any products. I do not follow systems that others have created. I get to know your farm or agribusiness, your needs, and work to develop a plan that works for you. You are not locked in: Once the plan is created you are free to implement it on your own, hire another company, or retain me for help along the way.
$600 Q&A Package
You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers. Not sure where to begin? Do you need a sounding board for your ideas? Perhaps you want a second opinion on what your current advisor is suggesting. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.
Pricing includes one meeting in-person (within 100km of Taber, AB) or online and support through email, text, or phone for a 3 month period.
It is ideal for winter planning or seasonal support.
Upgrade to any other plan for the difference in cost anytime.
$3000 Farm Planning
I get to know your operation, where you are, and where you want to be. Give me access to as much, or as little, data as you like. Don’t worry if it’s not organized. I’ll figure it out.
Pricing includes four meetings in-person (within 100km of Taber, AB) or online and support through email, text, or phone for a 12 month period.
This is ideally started in the fall with new clients so that plans can be worked on over the winter. The summer can be used for implementing and fine-tuning them.
$2000 Annual Retainer
Unlike most agronomy businesses, I don’t try to hook you into my services year after year. I love to keep working with you over the long term though.
Pricing includes four meetings in-person (within 100km of Taber, AB) or online and support through email, text, or phone for a 12 month period.
This is ideal for existing clients who want support for the farm on an annual basis or who just want to have a resource throughout without a lot of upfront work.
Practical Regeneration:
Realistic Strategies for Climate Smart Agriculture
Farmers are feeling the pressure to implement climate smart strategies from outside forces. Governments are making international commitments and agribusinesses are responding to consumer demands and shareholder resolutions. The hype of regenerative agriculture keeps growing. But what actually works? I have spent two decades working with farmers on the Western Canadian Prairies. I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. I’ve spent the time critically reviewing the science behind the claims. Whether you are a farmer, an agronomist, or anyone that touches agriculture, this book will help you find the practices that help the planet and, just as importantly, farmers’ economic sustainability.
