Mechanical Weeding Techniques
This presentation from the 2013 ACORN conference in Moncton featured three speakers: Josh Oulton (Tap Root Farms, NS), Michael Carr (Jemseg River Farm, NB), Kent Coates (Nature's Route Farm, NB). Each guest speaker presented for 15 minutes on the methods they use on their farms to mechanically cultivate, as well as other methods of weed control and prevention that they use. There was a brief discussion at the end about where each farmer gave his input about when to start using mechanical cultivation, and what it has done for them in terms of efficiency.

No-Till Organic Soybeans
Sébastien Angers from the 2013 ACORN Conference in Moncton.
Growing organic no-till soybeans requires a well thought out rotation and planning that involves corn, soy and green manures. The technique of being able to incorporate residues and weed control without tilling requires much tinkering and accurate use of tools, but the improved soil structure and mineralisation provide many benefits to the crops.

Oilseed Production
Loic Dewavrin owns and operates a 1500-acre farm in Quebec, approximately 35 minutes from Montreal. Loic’s primary product is oil from his sunflower field crop, producing over 12,000 litres of oil per year. In this presentation Loic discusses the basics of oil production, differentiates between cold and hot pressed oils, and reviews his trials of various oil seeds. Over the years he has chosen to work primarily with sunflower seed for his oil products. The farm distributes throughout the Quebec region through grocery stores, reselling to other farms and through a cooperative (for more info on the co-op see the notes for Agro-bio: Experiences in a Grain Cooperative). This presentation does not go into the marketing of oilseed; rather it focuses on production and weighs pros and cons of various seeds types.
