Event Description

This year we will be holding a VIRTUAL two-day event at the end of the Great Ontario Yield Tour to practice physical distancing and to take all the necessary Covid-19 precautions to keep you and our staff safe. The aim of the tour is to provide farmers with insight, so that you can make better production and marketing decisions. 

This year, the Great Ontario Yield Tour Final Events will be held online - from the comfort and safety of farmer's homes. It is FREE to register and attend. Farmers throughout Ontario, as well as those outside of the province, are welcome to register and attend.

Final Event, Day 1, September 2, 2020 - 12:10pm EST
Special Guest Speaker Dan Luepkes

His season 1 success was a testament to his own determination as his farm is located in Oregon, Illinois, a small town in the northwest region of the state, which had extremely poor, sandy soil that was unable to consistently produce yields or profit when it was first acquired. Dan will share his secrets of his high yield corn management system.

 

Final Event, Day 2, September 3, 2020 - 12:10pm EST
Special Guest Speaker Ken Ferrie

In fact, having carryover seed on hand often presents a strategic advantage for both seed growers and farmers. The Alberta-British Columbia Seed Growers’ Association (ABCSG) has offered a carryover listing service since around 2009, before the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA) added carryover capability to the national Seed Locator in 2018.
