The meetings are called to receive reports and elect the District voting delegates and Grain Farmers of Ontario directors for the coming year and also to conduct such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

If you are considering becoming more involved with Grain Farmers of Ontario as a delegate, alternate, director or committee member these meetings are important to learn more about the organization. This is also a chance to get your voice heard and vote for representatives. As an incentive to get more people involved, all farmer-members that attend their January District Meeting will have a chance to win one of three getaways. The grand prize is a trip for two to the Commodity Classic in California. All barley, corn, oat, soybean, and wheat producers are welcome.
