Applied Research Associations (ARAs) like CAFLA support farmers all around the province. Our responsibility is to provide a continuous cycle of information transfer and ongoing advocacy for new (or best) practices in production, regenerative ag and innovation, so every farmer, rancher and producer has the resources they need to make informed decisions on and off the field.

WHAT OUR NETWORK IS SAYING

SherryAnn & Kurt Hoogland

As a producer and board member of the Central Alberta Forage and Livestock Association, I am proud to contribute to a community that champions regenerative agriculture and the well-being of our local ecosystems. CAFLA’s commitment to sharing knowledge, resources, and innovative practices has had a profound impact on my own operations, helping me enhance land stewardship and livestock management. Being part of this association connects me with like-minded producers and fosters collaboration, ensuring that agriculture in Central Alberta continues to thrive.

Recently, we accessed CAFLA's soil sampling service. After hearing about it at the Johnson-Su bioreactor workshop and being happy with previous CAFLA experiences, they were our first choice. Our land was very depleted after many years of tilling and cropping, but with rotational grazing practices in place, we saw improvements... Working with CAFLA for soil sampling was simple. It was a great experience, and I will use CAFLA for future soil samples.

The more you learn the more you realize you have to or want to learn to understand more. Leading edge agriculture is addictive. GWFA always has created that in its membership and CAFLA will continue that with its current leadership and commitment.”

Deb Skeels

I have found CAFLA very helpful for our Cattle business. Their extension programs are always worthwhile. I always come home with an expanded knowledge of grazing and/or soils.

This was an inspiring and informative workshop! I'm walking away with 150% more knowledge than what I came with. I can begin to apply some basic strategies for regenerative agriculture today!
