Farmers had the opportunity to view over 50 pieces of the newest and coolest hay and forage equipment at this year’s Ontario Forage Expo.
The Ontario Forage Council and the Oxford County Soil and Crop Improvement Association organized the Expo on June 29. Dwayne Kloepfer and family of Dual Lane Farms in Ingersoll hosted this year’s event.
“The Ontario Forage Expo is consistently a great event because it’s run by farmers for farmers,” says Stephanie Nagelschmitz of Delta Power Equipment.
“Nearly every brand in the hay and forage marketplace is represented at the Expo, which means it’s a one-stop-shop for farmers or custom harvesters. It’s well worth the trip to spend the day comparing equipment while it’s operating side by side.”
The Expo – free to farmers – brought in exhibitors such as Delta Power Equipment, Premier Equipment and Stratford Farm Equipment. Delta showed off some New Holland equipment, an Oxbo Windrow Merger and a Penta Dump Box. Stratford Farm Equipment took Case IH equipment.
Despite the rain, the event was a success.
