Grey Bruce Farmers' Week In Full Swing

It's become a tradition is Grey and Bruce Counties.

The 51st annual Grey Bruce Farmers' Week and Trade Show is underway in Elmwood.

Today is the second of seven straight days of discussions and panels on farm related issues. Farmers' Week is put on by Grey County Agricultural Services.

Ray Robertson is one of the organizers.

"We try to keep the program relevant to the industry today and every day we have a keynote speaker and other really good people. I think people recognize it's a valuable way to spend their time," says Robertson.

He adds the trade show that goes along with Farmers Week has become a popular and important part of the event.

Each day of Grey Bruce Farmers' Week focuses on a different aspect of agricultural.

Yesterday was Beef Day.

Today's Dairy Day has been cancelled due to poor weather conditions and road closures.

Events will resume tomorrow with Goat Day.

Saturday is Sheep Day, Sunday Horse Day, Monday Ecological Day and it winds up next Tuesday with Crops Day.
