We welcome the Cowboys and Cowgirls from Quebec and the United States to the events and wish them luck through the summer.

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!

Which Situations Require the Use of a Soybean Inoculant?

If soybeans have been in a rotation on the field, an inoculant is not normally recommended. Most universities recommend that if the field has not grown soybeans in the last 3 or more years an inoculant may help to prevent a yield loss. Some environmental conditions, such low pH, floods, and drought may increase the need for periodic inoculation even in fields with a history of soybean production. Care must be used when storing and handling these products as they contain a living bacteria. Soybeans form a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria that live in the soil (Figure 1). In this relationship, Rhizobia bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen into a plant available form in exchange for plant-derived carbon. Because soybeans are the host for the bacteria, if soybeans are grown in rotation the bacteria will persist in the soil. However, if soybeans have never been grown or have not been grown in an area for several years, the bacteria can become deple

Effects of Frost & Freeze Conditions on Young Corn and Soybeans

Air temperatures at or below 28 °F can be fatal to corn and soybeans, depending on their duration and crop growth stage. Waiting a few days after the freeze or frost event to examine affected plants, is the best way to assess the extent of damage and make management decisions. Certain management practices such as herbicide applications, may need to be delayed when frost-freeze injury occurs. Air temperatures at or below 28 °F for just a few hours can kill corn outright, even when the growing point is below ground, while air temperatures above 28 °F have a variable effect on young corn. For soybeans, when the air temperature drops below 28-32 °F, plants can experience some degree of frost damage. If the freeze period lasts for several hours and damage occurs below the cotyledons, soybeans can die. When light frost occurs, it typically shows up in bottom ground and lower parts of fields where the cold air has a chance to collect. It may also show up in fields protected by trees, since

Bfo Statement: Ontario Court Upholds The Legislation And Intent Of The Security From Trespass Act

The Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) is pleased to hear that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has upheld the legislation and intent of the Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act (2020), which has been under a court challenge since 2021. We understand that while the Act has been upheld, a ruling on sections of the underlying Regulation has been suspended. We will be actively monitoring further developments regarding this case. The Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act is a critical safeguard to protect farm animals, the food supply, farmers and others from risks that are created when trespassers enter places where farm animals live or when persons engage in unauthorized interactions with farm animals. The repercussions include the risk of exposing farm animals to disease and stress, as well as the risk of introducing contaminants into the food supply. Animal neglect, abuse and cruelty is never acceptable, and animal welfare is of the utmost importance

Federal Budget 2024 Misses Key Opportunities, says Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada

Budget 2024 unfortunately overlooks several significant measures that could have greatly supported the fruit and vegetable sector, such as a carbon tax exemption, financial protection against market volatilities, and the establishment of a Grocery Code of Conduct. Similarly, no funding was allocated for greenhouse agriculture or the Sustainable Agriculture Strategy, both essential for climate adaptation and sustainability. Nevertheless, Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada (FVGC) is cautiously optimistic about several included initiatives, like the extension of the Advance Payments Program’s interest-free limit to $250,000 and the introduction of the New Canada Carbon Rebate for Small Businesses. The budget also proposes funding for maintaining the pesticides regulatory system and promoting sustainable pesticide use, which underscores the importance of sustainable crop protection practices. FVGC is particularly concerned about the rising costs affecting both growers and consumers. As

Altona's E2 Trucking acquires Rosenort-based trucking firm

E2 Trucking, an Altona-based company, has expanded it's operations by acquiring PK Friesen Trucking in Rosenort. A big step for the company, the deal closed on February 9th. . E2 owner Evan Erlandson says they learned a lot and got to know a lot of good people that he's proud to have on the team. "That added 12 trucks to our fleet, roughly an even split of north-south routes and east-west routes. The east-west trucks and trailers and business was new to us, we were not involved in that business. The north-south wasn't new to us, so we just kept those guys on. Well, we kept everyone on, and we're doing our best to keep everybody busy." The fleet now totals about 35 units. Along with the repair shop, support staff, is made up of some 10 people, including three full-time mechanics, dispatchers, administration, a couple of managers and all the drivers. From the perspective of a business owner, Erlandson feels a responsibility, especially in small town, to do what he can to preserve
