Waterloo Junior Farmers Host International Delegates

The Waterloo Junior Farmers kept six visiting international delegates busy last week.

The visit was part of the Junior Farmers Association of Ontario's Summer Exchange Program.

Stops included a turkey farm, a milking sheep farm and Heritage Hill Dairy Farm.

The delegates also visited the Jones Feed Mill, St. Jacobs Farmers Market and the Ontario Livestock Exchange.

Junior farmer members from Perth and Wellington counties joined with the Waterloo hosts and the visitors for a car rally as part of the visit.

The Waterloo Junior Farmers Facebook group and Twitter page have pictures from the week-long visit.
