NORTH GOWER – North Gower Grains held their annual Customer Appreciation Day on Wed., June 27.
The annual event sees roughly 700 farmers on the grounds to enjoy a day full of barbecue, raffle prizes, local business exhibitors and of course to take advantage of the one-day only special pricing opportunities on grain contracts.
One of the biggest contract incentives of the day was for soybeans due to current low prices. Foster explained the prices for the crop are not expected to rise over the next few years. Because of this many farmers were able to get beneficial contracts during the event.
The day also featured a panel of experts who spoke to the crowd about the best time to apply fungicides and nitrogen to the crops. With new technology always emerging, getting the right timing for applications is becoming more specific to help benefit the farmers.
Foster and his team thanked everyone who attended the event including, customers, exhibitors, suppliers, 4-H and Junior Farmer’s members for their rendition of O Canada, the door prize donors, speakers for making the day informative, and the “Rib Guy and Century Event Catering Service for the fabulous meal.”
All in all the event had another year of success with an outstanding turnout.
