On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) is a $200 million, 3-year fund which funds 12 different programs to support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices such as increasing biodiversity, capturing soil carbon and improving soil health. We all know filling out forms is a hassle, but this is too easy not to take advantage of. 

Field peas can be used as a cover crop, green manure, or forage and hay and silage. Hay is good quality, but peas are more succulent than vetches and more difficult to cure. Regrowth after mowing or grazing is poor. Field peas are often planted in mixtures with cereal grains for grazing or silage.  Field peas grown with barley, oats, triticale, or wheat provide excellent livestock forage. The cereal crop protects the soil during winter when field pea growth is slow, and provides a support for vines to climb, keeping pea vegetation off the ground where it is more likely to rot. Field peas can produce between 1 - 3 tons of dry matter per acre.
