Grain Farmers of Ontario is a bronze sponsor of the IPM and exclusive sponsor of the VIP tent and VIP plowing, where we look forward to welcoming politicians from across the province during opening day.

We will also have the Growing Connections trailer exhibit on display in the education area, and, for the second year, we will be hosting the Tech Park. The Tech Park will feature a drone demonstration as well as a modern sprayer and combine.

It is a good opportunity to teach attendees about the technology that farmers are using in the field. Staff will be on hand to answer questions and chat with school groups that stop by.

If you are at the IPM this week, come by Mutual Avenue and 4 th street to see the Grain Farmers of Ontario displays.
