Celie Diebold, representing the region of Waterloo North Dumfries was crowned as Ontario Queen of the Furrow last night at the 2013 International Plowing Match (IPM) and Rural Expo’s Queen of the Furrow Crowning Gala. Celie will spend next year promoting the Ontario Plowman’s Association and the 2014 International Plowing Match that will be held in Essa Township.


This year’s competition saw 29 women across the province compete for the title, in a variety of activities consisting of an interview, plowing and a prepared speech. From Wentworth, Ontario, Diebold is a member of the Wentworth Junior Farmers and her speech topic was on the importance of thanking a farmer.


The top five finalists of the competition included Brianna Dracup of Hastings; Anikka Bolender of York; Kayla Bishop of Huron County; Lindsay Bebbington, of Peel-Dufferin; and the winner, Celie Diebold, of Waterloo North Dumfries.

Treating Sheep For Lice!

Video: Treating Sheep For Lice!

We are treating our sheep for lice today at Ewetopia Farms. The ewes and rams have been rubbing and scratching, plus their wool is looking patchy and ragged. Itchy sheep are usually sheep with lice. So, we ran the Suffolk and Dorset breeding groups through the chutes and treated them all. This treatment will have to be done again in two weeks to make sure any eggs that hatched are destroyed too. There was a lot of moving of sheep from pen to pen around the sheep barn but by all the hopping and skipping the sheep were doing, I think they enjoyed the day immensely! We hope you do too!
