2021 Thanks For Farming Tour Hits The Road

Farmers are signing up for the 2021 Thanks for Farming Tour.

The event features presentations on Cover Crops, Farm Transition, Cultivating Resilience and a little humour from YouTube favourite Quick Dick McDick - an Agricultural Technician from Tuffnell, Saskatchewan.

Jeremy Matuszewski from Thunderstruck Sales is one of the organizers.

"Honestly, when we started this last summer, it was just hey, let's just go do this. We'll hold a couple small events, invite a bunch of buddies and you know other companies that are like ours and see what happens. And it is just morphed into something, unbelievable. I mean, the response from the farmers that attended last year and last fall was really cool. And the companies that joined us really had a good time. So it was like, hey, let's do three more of these.

The Thanks for Farming Tour is back on the road for another year with stops this week (Wednesday and Thursday) in Lethbridge, in Swift Current on July 13th and 14th, before wrapping up in Brandon July 28-29.

He notes nobody's ever saying thank you to the farmers.

"Our whole business has been built by representing farmer invented products and selling them to other farmers. And so we said, Hey, why don't we do this? Why don't  we create something where we can really focus on saying thank you to the farmers just across western Canada."

Matuszewski says with the free lunch, they are looking for farmers to pre-register.
