The ghosts of energy loss are held captive by shelterbelts! Shelterbelts can add value to your farm by helping break up wind, retain soil moisture, reduce heating costs, reduce animal mortality, provide habitat & more. What are you doing to prevent energy losses on your farm?

EFP+ counts as both an Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) and a Farmer Sustainability Assessment (FSA), helping commodity groups, buyers, and other industry partners reduce duplication for producers. Less paperwork, greater efficiency, and more time spent where it matters most: on the farm.

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

It's a great time to sit down and get your EFP done. Following the busy harvest time, it is a great way to start planning for next season and to note the lessons learned this year. Join us for a virtual workshop. More info is available here: bit.ly/3VPSPNj

Leaving adequate residue behind helps protect the soil from erosion, conserve moisture and maintain soil health for the next growing season. A little planning can turn post-harvest residue into a valuable grazing opportunity. #efp #abefp #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #albertaag

Residue does more than protect soil. Standing stubble and surface residue provide food, shelter, and nesting cover for birds, insects, pollinators, and other beneficial wildlife. Good residue management supports biodiversity and healthy agricultural landscapes.

What happens when we work with the land instead of against it? This summer, soil biologist Joel Williams joined CAFLA in Red Deer County to discuss how matching crops to land capability and converting marginal acres to forages can improve soil health, reduce inputs and increase microbial activity

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Residue helps protect water quality by reducing runoff, slowing water movement across the soil surface, and keeping sediment and nutrients in the field. Healthy soils support healthy wetlands, streams, and watersheds while benefiting farm productivity.

000

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Crop roots play an equally important role in protecting and improving our soils. While surface residues help shield the soil from wind and water erosion, roots help hold soil particles together, improve water infiltration, and add valuable organic matter as they decompose.

Protect soil moisture. Build resilience. Standing stubble and surface residue help trap snow, reduce evaporation, improve infiltration, and even help manage salinity as spring melt moves salts deeper into the soil. #efp #abefp #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #albertaag #agriculture

Crop residue protects Alberta soils from wind and water erosion, reduces surface crusting, and helps maintain soil structure. It also slows runoff, allowing more moisture to soak into the soil. Managing residue is a simple way to protect soil productivity and build crop resiliance bit.ly/4x9wvyl

Hauling chemical, spreading manure, or storing hazards? Having spill kits & training for on farm workers is a great way to minimize negative impacts, while also protecting those on farm. 🌞 Check out courses to help bring more risk awareness to your farm: agsafeabseed.ca

Everyone knows someone that's been in an on farm accident. Having a plan can help protect your operation from danger. The EFP is more than just paperwork! It can help you find resources & create a plan for many scenarios! Do what you can to prevent issues like these on farm!

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Harvest means more farm equipment on Alberta roads. Farmers: check lights, reflectors, and SMV signs before every trip. Drivers: slow down, be patient, and only pass when it's safe. A little courtesy goes a long way in helping everyone get home safely.

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Emergencies don't just affect people. They can also put livestock at risk. Prepare a plan that includes emergency feed and water supplies, transportation options, and identification for your animals if evacuation becomes necessary.

000

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Harvest is one of the highest fire risk times of the year. Before heading to the field, clean chaff from equipment, inspect belts and bearings, carry a charged fire extinguisher, and keep a water tank or disc nearby in dry conditions. A few minutes of preparation can help prevent a costly field fire

000

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

When the unexpected happens on the farm, preparation makes all the difference. With the EFP program, you can take a closer look at your on-farm risks and build a plan that works for you, knowing your information stays private and confidential.

000

Alberta EFP @albertaefp.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Harvest is no time for unexpected breakdowns. Help protect your equipment with seasonal maintenance, clean away crop residue, and inspect belts and bearings regularly. Back up equipment records, maintenance logs, and insurance documents so you're prepared if the unexpected happens.
