Event Description

The ONTARIO Agricultural CONFERENCE is excited to bring you to the next level with our 2024 conference (#OAgC24). Using the excellent feedback from attendees over the past years, the conference is expanding to offer even more opportunities for in-person learning, while maintaining the excellent access to sessions with our virtual format as well.

The 2024 conference will offer attendees the opportunity to join the conference In-Person at 3 separate locations on 3 different dates in January! Ridgetown, Waterloo and Kemptville will all offer In-Person options, while those choosing the virtual conference will be able to access sessions from their home computer and mobile devices, anywhere they happen to be. Of course, In-Person attendees at any location will have access to all virtual sessions as well, right up to March 31, 2024.

January 16, 2024, the Eastern Ontario Crop Conference hosts the second In-Person day of the conference in Kemptville, with 2 exciting concurrent sessions every hour, a trade show for great discussions and more!


Sessions from all 3 In-Person events will be recorded and included as ON DEMAND sessions as they become available, to allow all conference attendees access to the incredible information that will be delivered. All recorded sessions will be available virtually until March 31, 2024.

As well, back by popular demand, TEC Talk Tuesdays will allow participants to join the discussion as conference speakers dig into selected topics in more detail on Tuesday evenings through January and February, 7:27 pm sharp.

Check our website www.ontarioagconference.ca or follow us on twitter @OAgC24 and stay tuned for more details on what promises to be our best conference ever!!


Mark your calendars! Registration opens November 1, and In-Person capacity is limited, so early registration for these events is essential.

Elmer’s Manufacturing has been working with EMILI over the past several seasons to validate three of these technologies and their components. The HaulMaster 2300 is a grain cart with a 2300-bushel capacity, designed to reduce combine idle time, minimize travel across fields as well as soil compaction, and maximize harvest windows.

Details, including eligibility criteria and application guidelines, are available on the program website.

Leadership skills learned at Prairieland Youth Leadership Conference

The Prairieland Youth Leadership Conference was held over the weekend in Saskatoon. The event attracted nearly 40 4-H members from across the province. As the title suggests, the focus is on developing leadership skills. Before coming to Saskatoon, each participant was asked to interview someone who they viewed as a leader in their community. They also produced a video or wrote an article about that leader. "Business owners who are offering their services to their community members. We had politicians, mayors, coaches and everybody under the sun that these members looked at as role models and people that they can learn something from." said Kody Farrow, the Chair of the Prairieland Youth Leadership Committee. Evan Shout is the President and CEO at Hebert Group and is the co-host of the popular "The Truth About Ag Podcast." He worked with the participants on Saturday and was the guest speaker at the Banquet Sunday. He says the 4-H'ers are off to a great start when it comes to leaders
