The CFGA annual conference is THE not-to-be-missed annual event for the forage industry to meet and drive development in this critical agricultural sector. This year, we’re heading to beautiful Harrison Hot Springs, B.C. Nov. 28 through Dec. 1. 

With the theme Forage Resilience in a Changing Landscape – Manage risk. Overcome Challenges. Discover opportunities, this year’s event will celebrate the important environmental and economic role forages and grasslands play across the country while delivering the practical, grassroots-based agronomic knowledge the CFGA is known for.
