Evening winter meeting brings networking learning and community gathering
The Grey Soil & Crop AGM and Winter Meeting , as well as Social Tradeshow will take place on December 18, 2025, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Bognor Community Centre in Bognor, Ontario.
The evening format is new this year, offering participants a warm and welcoming environment to connect with others in the agriculture community. Doors will open at 5 p.m. for socializing, followed by a gourmet supper beginning at 5:30 p.m.
This event provides an opportunity for farmers, agribusiness professionals, and community members to come together in a relaxed and friendly setting. Attendees are encouraged to bring significant others, making the event a social occasion as much as an educational one. Agribusinesses will be stationed throughout the venue with displays, helping participants learn about new services, tools, and innovations while building professional relationships.
A key highlight of the evening will be a presentation by The Honourable Robert Black, P.Ag. (Hon.), Senator for Ontario. Senator Black has dedicated his life to supporting Canadian agriculture and rural leadership. His work includes contributions to OMAFRA, 4-H Ontario, the Ontario Soybean Growers, the Centre for Rural Leadership, and the Rural Ontario Institute. He often credits programs such as 4-H, Junior Farmers, and the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program for shaping his leadership journey.
