This coming week we will go Inside member relations with our inaugural Womens’ Grain Symposium. This will be the first time Grain Farmers of Ontario has run a conference for women. A recent initiative of Grain Farmers of Ontario is to get more women involved with our organization. In March 2016, a focus group was run to help identify what areas female farmer- members are looking for support. From this, a conference was developed to address these needs. The conference will run bi-yearly going forward and Steve McCabe, manager of member relations can be contacted for more information at 226-979- 5581.

Look for an update on the conference on Inside Grain Farmers of Ontario this Thursday. It can be found at www.gfo.ca, in the Bottom Line and Grain Farmers of Ontario on Youtube.
