Ontario producers celebrated Easter weekend spending quality time on the farm
By Jennifer Jackson
Easter weekend is a chance for many to spend time with family – and it coincides with the early spring push across Ontario to prepare for planting and care for livestock.
With warm and wet weather across much of southern Ontario, some producers took the opportunity to prepare equipment for planting. Others tended to livestock with young family members, who were taking advantage of the break from school.
Farms.com has compiled some of the social media highlights from Easter weekend on the farm.
