A great big THANK YOU to all who helped make the 2011 X-Change a great success.

Canada's Fruit & Veg Tech X-Change (CFVTX) is an outdoor, not-for-profit, horticultural trade show for commercial fruit and veg producers and their families. Encompassing: Row Crop, Orchard, Vineyard, Greenhouse and tobacco sectors.

This progressive sector is showcased under real farm conditions, all in one location on Thursday July 12Friday July 13, and Saturday July 14 2012, right here in Norfolk County – just 10 mins south of the “HORT HWY#3” - Simcoe, Ontario.

A staggering 242 exhibitors came from across North America to engage in the inaugural Hort showcase. For a first time event, we were extremely pleased with the showmanship and enthusiasm put into product and service displays. 2,200 qualified producer families came through the gates this year, with the intention to do business.

We have assembled a top notch steering committee of 30+ exhibitors and producers. We heard loud and clear that the dates of the X-Change had to fall between planting and harvest for the majority of fruit and veg crops in this province, hence the new dates of: July 12th,13th,14th 2012.

We are located at 1195 Front Road St Williams. Postal code: ON N0E 1P0.

What Separates the Top-Tier Pork Producers from the Rest?

Some would say the pork industry is on the other side of the biggest financial downturn the industry has seen for the last 30 years. Others say we are not quite there yet. In a Farm Credit peer benchmarking review, Chris Ford, vice president corporate swine lender with Farm Credit, looked back over the past several years to see what differentiated pork operations that have done well and those that have struggled. 1. Production is king. “Producers who have adhered to strong biosecurity measures, embraced technology and have taken a mindset of getting as much production out the door as possible have had as much success as anybody in this industry,” Ford says. 2. Good bookkeeping matters. “Those who have done a nice job with financial acumen and understanding where they’re at from a financial standpoint have survived this downturn,” Ford says. “As a lender, we see that every day. Those producers that keep good sets of books and understand their cost of production make the best decisions

3rd Annual BBQ & Brew at the Ballpark Raises $20,000 for Iowa Food Banks

Hundreds of Iowans gathered at Principal Park on June 21 for the third annual BBQ & Brew at the Ballpark, raising more than $20,000 to support food banks across the state.

This event is also a great opportunity to showcase the high-quality product we raise in Iowa and the incredible BBQ talent and passion of the teams who compete.” This year’s event featured 24 backyard barbecue teams competing for $12,000 in prize money across three pork categories: loin, ribs, and butt.
