Peace River Forage Association of BC

Sharing Information
Information is shared with members of the Peace River Forage Association of BC in several ways: newsletters, forage facts, tours, field days.

Forage First Newsletters:
A newsletter " Forage First" is mailed out 3 to 4 times a year. It communicates ideas with about 250 forage enthusiasts. It is compiled, published and distributed by the Communication Committee of the Association.

Forage Facts:
The objective here is to compile useful tips and experiences to share with other forage producers. To date, 54 forage facts have been compiled & more are in progress. In the past our association appreciated funding from Peace River Agriculture Development and the Investment Agriculture Foundation. We especially thank all the supporters of the biannual Goods & Services Auctions for the seed money for this worthwhile project.

Forage & Livestock Tours:
We have held very successful tours every year since 1992. In 2001, over 150 people toured innovative ranches in the Groundbirch, Lone Prairie & Chetwynd areas. In 2003, the association hosted a tour in the Vanderhoof area.To see more information on the tours, go to the History section of our website.

Field Days, Mini Tours & Winter Forage Club Meetings:
The Association hosts several Friendly Field days & mini-tours each summer, as well as Forage Club meetings in the winter.
