Event Description

The FarmSmart Agricultural Conference celebrates its 12th year. FarmSmart is cosponsored by OSCIA, OMAFRA, OAC of the University of Guelph and strongly supported by Ag Business. We look for speakers to address present and emerging technologies and innovations across a range of subjects. Sessions are offered on crop and livestock production, soil and environmental management, business, marketing, and general interest topics.

Participants can select their own program from over 40 topics.

For those attendees in the Certified Crop Advisors (CCA) program there are opportunities to earn Continuing Eduacation Unit (CEU) credits.
