Now entering our 5th year, this event has become an annual and valued opportunity to share timely information with our farming community. AgKnowledge 2006 explored energy generation and conservation methods and the impact on the "bottom line." 119 members of the Agriculture sector participated in this event.
Eighty-eight participants attended the 2007 forum held at the Officer's Mess at CFB Borden. The focus of the forum was on farm business management and succession planning. Federal and Provincial representatives provided timely information on current farm programs and funding available to support farms operations. |
