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

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!

Still Slow Going for Saskatchewan Harvest

The Saskatchewan harvest continued to make relatively modest progress this past week and remains well behind normal. Thursday’s provincial crop report showed the overall harvest at just 27% complete as of Monday, up 9 percentage points from a week earlier. That is well behind 41% last year, and the five- and 10-year averages of 58% and 50%. Most of the progress came earlier in the week before widespread heavy rainfall brought fieldwork to a halt across much of the province. Some of the largest totals included 138 mm in the rural municipality of Longlaketon, 132 mm in Eyebrow, 127 mm in Sarnia and 121 mm in McKillop. Fields are now saturated in many areas, leaving producers waiting for warmer, drier weather before combines can return. Cropland topsoil moisture increased sharply, with 33% rated surplus and 58% adequate. Another 7% is rated short and 2% very short. Excess moisture and high winds were the main sources of crop damage during the week, the report said, with isolated

ICE Close: Sharp Crude Rally Supports

Canola futures closed moderately higher Thursday, supported by strength across the broader oilseed complex and a sharp rally in crude oil. Chicago soybean futures posted solid gains ahead of Friday’s USDA WASDE report, providing spillover support to canola, while surging energy markets added another bullish influence for vegetable oils and biofuel feedstocks. Brent crude jumped more than 6% to over US$107/barrel and U.S. crude climbed above US$102 as escalating Middle East tensions heightened concerns about global energy supplies. A slightly weaker Canadian dollar also helped underpin canola by making Canadian supplies more competitive for foreign buyers. Today’s Saskatchewan crop report pegged the overall harvest in that province at 27% complete as of Monday, up just 9 points from a week earlier and well behind last year and the average pace as wet conditions continue to hold farmers back. The canola harvest was estimated at 9% complete. Additional precipitation and periods

Alberta harvest reaches 10 per cent complete

According to Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation’s latest crop report, 10 per cent of major crops have been harvested, as of September 1, 2026. That’s up six percentage points from the previous week, although harvest remains behind the five-year average of 23 per cent and the 10-year average of 17 per cent. Harvest progress varies across the province. The South Region reported 27 per cent of major crops harvested, while Central Alberta sits at nearly 12 per cent. Harvest is just getting underway in many northern areas, with completion ranging from one to three per cent across the Northeast, Northwest, and Peace regions. Dry peas continue to be the furthest along, with just over half of the provincial crop harvested. Barley harvest has reached 20 per cent complete, while six per cent of spring wheat acres have been combined. The latest report also shows soil moisture conditions remain well above historical averages across Alberta. Provincial surface soil moisture is rated 56 per cen
