For over 40 years, CAFLA (formerly Grey Wooded Forage Association) has been promoting sustainable forage production practices in Central Alberta. We empower producers to make informed decisions through education, research, and community engagement, fostering healthy pastures and resilient ecosystems. Explore events, research projects, and become a member today!
Every season brings new opportunities and challenges, and we understand that innovation should not come at the cost of any producer’s livelihood. There is no simple “undo” button in agriculture — implementing new techniques and strategies carry their own level of risk. As a producer-led and directed organization, CAFLA collaborates with regional experts, researchers and associations across the province to provide knowledge, tools and resources to support a thriving farming and ranching community.
Our members can be found in Clearwater County, Mountain View County, Red Deer County, Lacombe County, Ponoka County, and the County of Wetaskiwin, although our reach extends into a large majority of Western Canada. Our office is located in Rocky Mountain House in Clearwater County.
We can’t predict the future. But we can help you prepare for it. As a producer-led and directed organization, CAFLA is your regional source for the latest news, updates, research and networking opportunities to ensure you are prepared for whatever the next growing season may bring. Our main focus areas include:
Grazing Management — Riparian Management — Environmental Sustainability Grass Production — Pasture and Perennial Forage Regeneration
We host on-farm demonstrations, networking sessions and agricultural events, as well as new advancements and processes based on decades of gathered data and generations of crops.
