Accelerate Weekly #83

Accelerate Weekly – Issue 83 | July 28, 2025

This week’s newsletter takes you from forest cutblocks to farm fields across West-Central Alberta. We spotlight how High Country Shepherding is using sheep grazing as a natural alternative to herbicides near Edson, helping restore forests while protecting biodiversity.

You’ll also find updates on our drone spraying trials in Wildwood and details on an upcoming 2-day drone school with AdvancedUAV, designed to help producers save time, reduce input costs, and explore precision agriculture.

Plus:

  • Catch Farming Forward at AgSmart in Olds this week

  • Mark your calendar for summer events, including Step into Soil with Dr. Jill Clapperton and our Breakfast Plot Tours

  • Read about innovative wildfire prevention with targeted cattle grazing in B.C.

  • Join local celebrations at the ALUS Brazeau County Producer Appreciation Night

Read the full newsletter for stories, events, and resources to support resilient farming in Alberta.
