Looking for producers willing to contribute knowledge to a BC-wide socioeconomic survey on BC Living Labs BMPs!

BMPs:
🌾 Bale Grazing
🌾 Winter Corn Grazing
🌾 Fall Seeded Cover Crops for Extended Grazing
🌾 Annual or Alternative Forage Crops or Cover Crops for Extended Grazing

UBC Okanagan and BC ACARN are surveying BC producers across the province to better understand producer perspectives and potential barriers to adoption in their detailed/follow-up survey.

Click here for detailed survey: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aVJqcewIVyGemsS

We are hoping to include socio-economic findings in our highly anticipated BMP Producer Manuals which will include the carbon storage and unit cost of production components in addition to any barriers to adoption.

Come hear the dollars and cents approach to extending your grazing season!
