Cash Crop Producer

1000 acres Kent County

"There’s no other event where you can go, do and see so many things – plots and equipment. And all in one day. Permanent site is nice and clean. Well organized. Landscaping looks nice. Great show for the kids too. We’ve been coming every year."

Pork Producer – Sows Early Wean

50 acres Perth County

"It’s great to see new technology in other sectors of agriculture and talk to the competition about what’s new. We like the "outdoor" aspect of the show. Kids like to see the livestock displays. It’s an opportunity to have a day out and visit with friends."
