Knight owns Clear Creek Farms, an operation just five kilometers from the farm of his father Victor where he got his start in farming. Such a rich history of living off the land in Chatham -Kent's Carolinian Zone gave Knight a great appreciation for biodiversity. After learning Clear Creek's wood - lot was home to several species at risk, Knight began to immediately seek out ways to use Best Manage- ment Practices (BMPs) on his farm to be a better steward to the land. In fall of 2013, he took an Environ- mental Farm Plan (EFP) workshop, delivered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA), where he was inspired by the water -centered look at his operation. "It let's you look at your farm in dif- ferent ways and in ways that society is increasingly looking at agriculture, especially with all the emphasis on water quality," Knight said. "I think protecting the Great Lakes is an important issue that we're going to have to face shortly." Armed with information about his farm's environmental needs, Knight set out to seek funding opportunities to refine the rotational grazing system already used on his farm. He found his answer in an advertisement for the Species at Risk Farm Incentive Program (SARFIP) delivered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA), offering cost - share to farmers who were willing to implement BMPs that had significant benefit to species at risk. Knight was able to use SARFIP funding to extend his rotational grazing fence. So far, the project has been a win-win for the farmer and the species at risk that reside in the grass- lands alongside his beef herd. "We had done [rotational grazing] before last year, but not to the extent we do now. We move our cattle every day, sometimes twice a day," Knight said. "It's going really well. We're see- ing a huge increase in stocking capac- ity on the land and a huge benefit to species at risk such as Bobolink and pollinators!' Improvements are visible. The Car- olinian Canada Coalition, who wrote a letter of support for Knight's 2014 fencing project, noted an "astounding concentration of about 12 breeding pairs of Bobolink." Knight was also able to implement a BMP to install permanent fencing to prevent cattle access to his Carolinian woodlot, which houses many native and rare species. He was also a signif- icant proponent in getting his father Victor on board to fence cattle from forested areas and installing a remote watering system through SARFIP. "I think [the project] was the right thing to do," Knight said. "Agriculture can benefit the environment more than harm it if it's done properly. I would definitely recommend [SARFIP]; it's a way to improve your farming operation's bottom line while enhancing and protecting wildlife and biodiversity on your farm." SARFIP's claim deadline has been changed to Jan. 15, 2015. Farm busi- nesses are eligible to receive up to $20,000 in cost -share for implement- ing projects from the program guide; projects completed after Apr. 1, 2014 can be submitted. Spring tree plant- ing projects are also eligible.
