This year’s event is being held in conjunction with the Canadian Forage & Grassland Association annual conference.
The Ontario Forage Council (OFC) has announced that its 2024 Forage Focus event will be on Friday, December 6, starting at 9:30 AM.
The Forage Focus is being held in conjunction with the annual conference of the Canadian Forage & Grassland Association (CFGA) being hosted in Guelph, Ontario, this year, and will serve as the popular post-conference tour.
This year’s theme for Forage Focus is Hay As A Cash Crop. The day will begin in Gorrie, Ontario, at Marcrest Hay Storage, where attendees will get to see its hay dryer and innovative hay storage facility.
Attendees will then get to tour the Marcrest Manufacturing facility where the Bale Baron is manufactured. After lunch, the tour moves on to Marhaven in Drayton, Ontario, for a look at the Chinook hay dryer and hay press.
At this location, there will also be a panel discussion with some of the big names in the Ontario hay markets talking about the opportunities available for hay producers.
This event is an excellent opportunity for those looking to expand their operation, as well as those thinking about getting started with hay production.
A trade show will be held in the afternoon at the Marhaven location.
Forage Focus is a FREE event, but registration is required. Lunch will be provided for attendees, courtesy of Marcrest Manufacturing.
Trade show and sponsorship opportunities are still available for this event. Spaces are limited and will fill quickly, so don’t hesitate to reach out. Forage Focus is an excellent opportunity to advertise to a forage-focused audience comprised of producers from across the province!
