Ontario Rodeo Tour Schedule

www.ontariorodeo.com

The RAM Rodeo will feature 10 events throughout Ontario and the CASE IH Ultimate Tour will be hosting 5 events in its second year. All these events will be Sanctioned by the Canadian Cowboys Association along with select ones also being sanctioned by the Association des Cowboys de l'Est au Canada (ACEC). We welcome the Cowboys and Cowgirls from Quebec and the United States to the events and wish them luck through the summer.

There are no shortage of opportunities at each and every one of these events as points and money earned go towards the RAM Championships in Newmarket and will qualify competitors to the Toronto Royal Invitational Rodeo in November 2014. Points will also count towards the Canadian CCA Championships in Regina. The top competitor in the eastern CCA rodeos in Ontario will be awarded one automatic entry in the standard events at the Regina Agribition.

In addition, All RAM Rodeos will feature $1,000.00 added prize money in standard events as well as most Case IH events.

The second Rodeo kicks off in Milverton, June 21-22

Comment by OntAG Admin on May 14, 2014 at 7:09am: The Milverton Rodeo as the third stop on the 2014 RAM Rodeo Tour. Milverton is a community located in the Township of Perth East in Perth County, Ontario. A village small in numbers but large in heart, Milverton is situated north of Stratford on Perth Road 131, and Northwest of Kitchener-Waterloo. A significant Amish and Mennonite population live near the village, bringing a traditional sense of charm and nostalgia to this community, one nestled in the heartland of Ontario's agricultural bounty. Local roads are shared with horse and buggies and hand-made quilts and wooden furniture can be found in nearby shops which make for an enjoyable shopping experience in the Milverton-Millbank area.

The Milverton Rodeo Committee is busy preparing for the 24th annual Milverton Rodeo and is proud of the fact that they host the longest-consecutively running rodeo in the province. Three local service groups have worked together for almost two and a half decades to ensure the tradition continues: Milverton Agricultural Society, Milverton Lions Club, and the Optimist Club of Mornington. Because of their combined efforts, numerous community projects have come to fruition: in 2003 the outdoor rodeo ring was constructed (voted best rodeo ring on the RAM circuit for the last four seasons) and in 2012 the brand new Milverton Agri Centre was completed, a unique building and the first of its kind in Ontario which is definitely the hub of the 20 acre property. These two important additions to the Fairgrounds only enhance the experience for both the visitor and the competitor alike.

In addition to the two RAM Rodeo performances (Saturday & Sunday at 2 p.m.) and the "legendary” Saturday Night Rodeo Dance, featuring the band Dry County, there are many exciting additions to the line-up. The weekend activities start Friday night at 6 p.m. when the food booth (offering wings) and the refreshment gardens open. In the grassed area, the NEW children’s activities will be taking place and at 7 p.m. the RAM Youth Challenge will commence in the rodeo ring. The Darcy John Band takes the stage at 8 p.m. to play some country-rock and will feature some rising local talent! On Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the “Rodeo Sidewalk Sales” will take place along Main Street, promising lots of excellent buys for those who are willing to search out the best deals! On Sunday morning from 8 a.m. to noon, treat the family a hearty country breakfast provided by local Swiss families which will satisfy your appetite for good home-cooking and from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. local youth will entertain on the rodeo stage.

Together these events are shaping up to make June 20, 21 & 22 a truly unforgettable weekend in the country. Milverton Rodeo is one tour stop that should not be missed as it exemplifies an entire community coming together for a terrific weekend of fun, family & festivities.

Admission to the Rodeo Grounds is free all weekend and remember to purchase rodeo tickets in advance to save $ 5.00 each. Visit www.milvertonramrodeo.com for all the details!

CFIA Proposes Changes to Expand Interprovincial Meat Movement

Canada is proposing temporary regulatory changes to support interprovincial meat trade, improve food security, reduce costs for producers, and strengthen rural and remote communities.

American Lentil, Pea Acres Slide from March, Last Year

U.S. farmers planted fewer lentils and dry peas than they indicated in March, with both crops also posting declines from last year, according to the USDA’s June Acreage report released Tuesday. American lentil area was estimated at 747,000 acres, down 85,000 acres from March intentions of 832,000 acres and down 30% from 1.072 million in 2025. Area expected to be harvested was forecast at 701,000 acres, down from 949,000 last year. Montana, the largest lentil-producing state, accounted for most of the decline. Farmers planted 560,000 acres, below the March projection of 620,000 acres and down 270,000 acres from 2025. North Dakota acreage fell to 130,000 acres, compared with the March estimate of 155,000 acres and 185,000 acres last year. Washington acreage was unchanged at 57,000 acres. Dry pea plantings were estimated at 1.047 million acres, down from the March projection of 1.17 million and down 11% from last year. Harvested area was forecast at 1.001 million acres, compared wit

ICE Close: Canola Higher on Return from Canada Day Holiday

Canola futures finished slightly higher on Thursday as the market returned from the Canada Day holiday a day earlier. Modest gains in crude oil provided some support for vegetable oils and helped lift canola, while mixed movement in Chicago soybeans and soyoil kept the advance restrained. Crude oil settled marginally higher Thursday on short covering ahead of the U.S. holiday weekend. Trading was relatively cautious, however, as market participants adjusted positions ahead of another holiday interruption. U.S. markets will be closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday, reducing direction from Chicago until trading resumes next week. Prairie weather also remained a background influence, with excessive moisture in some areas supporting crop concerns, although generally favourable conditions elsewhere and Canada’s larger projected canola acreage limited the upside. November was up 41.20 at $736.50, and January added $1.50 to $745.40.

Manitoba Crops Holding Up Amid Wet Conditions

Manitoba crops remain in generally good condition, even as isolated thunderstorms brought hail, strong winds, intense rain to portions of the province this past week. According to Tuesday’s weekly crop report, weekly rainfall totals ranged from just 2 mm to more than 123 mm, with the heaviest amounts reported near San Clara, Roblin, Waskada, Minnedosa, Manitou and the southern Interlake. Parts of the Northwest have now received more than 150% of normal precipitation since May 1, while the Stonewall area is approaching 250% of normal. Even so, winter wheat and fall rye are flowering and showing strong yield potential, the report said, while spring cereals range from tillering to the flag-leaf stage. Canola development varies widely from the two-leaf stage to early flowering, and soybeans are mostly between the first and fourth trifoliate stages. Excess moisture remains the main concern, particularly in the Northwest, Interlake and low-lying parts of the Southwest. Standing water,

Fireworks, Flavor, and a 250th Birthday: How to Keep Cookout Favorites Food Safe All Holiday Weekend

In preparation for America’s 250th Anniversary on the Fourth of July, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) provides tips for practicing safe food handling when grilling and hosting outdoor gatherings. “The summer heat increases food safety risks, but simple steps can prevent foodborne illness from outdoor gatherings,” advises Under Secretary for Food Safety Dr. Mindy Brashears. “Keeping perishables in coolers or insulated containers, following a two-hour rule (or one hour when temperatures are above 90 F), and grilling meats to safe internal temperatures are easy ways to protect friends and family from harmful bacteria as we all celebrate America’s 250th birthday.” Here are some recommendations for safe outdoor food preparation and serving: Marinating Always marinate meat in the refrigerator, never on the counter or at room temperature. Marinade used on raw meat or poultry must be boiled for a few minutes to destroy any harmful bacte
