FMT4 002. Soil Tillage (152-VSB-MC).
Note: For information about Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 course offerings, please check back on May 8, 2025. Until then, the "Terms offered" field will appear blank for most courses while the class schedule is being finalized.
Credits: 1.67
Offered by: Farm Mgmt & Technology Program (Faculty of Agric Environ Sci)
Terms Offered: Fall 2025
View offerings for in Visual Schedule Builder.
Description
In this course students will acquire the theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary for preparing a soil for seeding. This is done by studying soil characteristics, equipment design, common tillage systems and by extensive practical sessions with different tillage equipment. The students will also have to demonstrate an accurate and ever-present knowledge of the safety rules that apply on the farm and on the road.
Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
FMT4 007. Health and Safety (152-VSG-MC).
Note: For information about Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 course offerings, please check back on May 8, 2025. Until then, the "Terms offered" field will appear blank for most courses while the class schedule is being finalized.

Description
Students will be involved in the apprenticeship of safe livestock handling techniques, and of the techniques that can be used to reduce the risks associated with dangerous substances and machinery and equipment. Included in the course is also a first-aid and CPR training (additional fee of $85.00) aimed particularly at the farming environment. Real or fictitious cases, measurement tools, safety kits, relevant documentation, product labels, and environmental, health and safety regulations and rules will be discussed and used.

Description
The focus of Enterprise Management 2 will be at the strategic level. Students will build on existing knowledge to examine the steps necessary to prepare a management and business plan for their agricultural enterprise. They will be introduced to the development process of a farming business. The links between technical, financial, and economical aspect will be made. Students will be exposed to external factors of a farming business through the use of a three-day field trip and guest speakers from the agricultural establishment.

Description
Students will acquire the skills necessary to plan the future development of their farm yard and agricultural buildings. They will study techniques for analyzing the suitability of the current buildings, the current and future needs of the enterprise and the relevant environmental legislation and zoning laws. Students will learn to use building and site plans, as well as acquire a basic knowledge of engineering design.

Description
The capstone course for FMT students is the Farm Project. A comprehensive 5 year business plan for either their home farms or for a startup operation will be produced by students. They do a detailed technical and financial analysis of their current situation; develop managerial and capital projects to improve the operation, and describe the financial impacts that their plans will have on the farm for the coming five years. The projects will then be defended in front of a marking committee composed of FMT staff. This course includes the final requirement of the collegial comprehensive assessment.

FMT4 027. Precision Agriculture (152-VTD-MC).
Note: For information about Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 course offerings, please check back on May 8, 2025. Until then, the "Terms offered" field will appear blank for most courses while the class schedule is being finalized.
Credits: 1.33

Description
Students will be introduced to the basic elements of precision farming, including Global Positioning Systems and yield monitors, soil sampling strategies, remotely sensed data, Geographic Information Systems and variable rate technologies. Using real case studies and common software, students will learn to develop and analyze maps of yields and soil properties, diagnose the causes of yield variability, develop appropriate intervention strategies, and assess the potential cost implications for their farms.

Recherche
Agricultural Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution is an exceptionally complex problem.听 Understanding the mechanics involved in NPS pollution dynamics requires an accurate evaluation of water and pollutant pathways at the field and watershed scale.听 However, resolving these problems requires engaged agricultural producers who can recognize problems on their farms, identify cost effective solutions to fix those problems, and implement those solutions in a very competitive and complex environment.听 To do this, producers need strong management and technical skills, and they need knowledge about pollution pathways and dynamics for their geographic situation.听
My research was focused on designing, installing and operating field monitoring systems to collect data on water, sediment, nutrient and pesticide movement at the field and watershed scale.听听 My teaching in the FMT Program has focused on developing the analytical skills that future farm managers will need, both to manage their business and address water quality issues.
