It's one of the newer days - but has become one of the most popular at Grey Bruce Farmers Week.

Today is Ecological Day at the Elmwood Community Centre.

Topics include making organic no-till work and an update on the Grey Bruce ALUS program.

Odette Menard from the Quebec ministry of agriculture will speak about fighting for soil health this afternoon.

And the producer panel is on Equipment, Tools, Techniques and Tips.

The 50th anniversary Grey Bruce Farmers Week wraps up tomorrow with Crops Day.
