Event Description

The Ontario Forage Council (OFC), along with Huron County and Eastern Valley Soil and Crop Improvement Associations will be co-hosting Forage Expo 2024 - Forage Equipment Demonstrations and Trade Show.

The Huron County event will happen on Thursday, July 4, 2024, 10 am to 3 pm at 43843 Harriston Road, Gorrie, the farm of Mark Horst and family.

The Eastern Valley event will happen on Friday, July 12, 2024, 10 am to 3 pm at 1781 St. Isidore Road, St. Isidore, the farm of Thomas Haerle and family. This event will be bilingual.

This year’s demonstrations will include equipment from the leaders in forage production equipment. Attendees will not only have the chance to see what’s new for 2024 but will also have the unique opportunity to witness this equipment in head-to-head field trials! Equipment will include various mowers, conditioners, rakes, tedders, windrow inverters, mergers, harvesters, dump wagons, large round balers, large square balers, and a small square bale bundler. This event will provide the opportunity for farmers to view the latest technology available to harvest forage quickly with minimal loss and maximum quality. Ian McDonald and Christine O’Reilly, OMAFRA will be in the field, working with the equipment companies to provide information to farmers and answer questions. This is important in making decisions on investments which ultimately enhance their farm operations in capacity, minimizing harvest losses, product quality and profitability.

This is a FREE event! Lunch will be available for purchase on-site, and no pre-registration is required.

Trade show, equipment demonstration, and sponsorship opportunities are still available for this event. Spaces are limited and will fill quickly, so don’t hesitate. Ontario Forage Expo is an excellent opportunity to advertise to a forage focused audience compiled of producers from counties across the province!

Wheat midge – Overview

The wheat midge (Sitodiplosis mosellana) is found in most areas around the world wherever wheat is grown. In recent years, significant damage to wheat crops due to wheat midge has been reported in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, southern British Columbia, Minnesota, North Dakota and Idaho. All wheat varieties are currently susceptible to wheat midge, but some are more seriously affected than others. Although the midge also attacks other members of the grass family, including barley, couch grass, intermediate wheat grass and rye, infestations on these plants are usually not serious enough to warrant control. Research and breeding for wheat midge resistant wheat varieties is underway at the Cereals Research Centre (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Winnipeg) and the Crop Development Centre (University of Saskatchewan).
