Event Description

Central Ontario Agricultural Conference is a 3 day series of educational programming for farmers. This conference is formerly known as "Ag Info Days". The steering committee is comprised of a dedicated group of volunteers representing farm commodity groups in the region. These volunteers and their subcommittees work to develop the program content, contact speakers and sponsors and provide overall coordination.
The trade show is an important aspect of the event. It provides farm suppliers and farmers with the opportunity to meet and learn about the latest information on inputs, equipment, programs and services.

We missed last years' conference, but will have at least "family farm representatives" (ie the kids & grandkids) there this year. Can't wait for the list of programs!! Will there be any info on CSAs?
