A Bruce Mines beef farmer has been inducted into the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame.
Ron Bonnett, a long-time industry advocate, was entered into the Hall on June 9, during an afternoon ceremony in Elora, north of Guelph, along with five other inductees. Bonnett was nominated by the Algoma Federation of Agriculture.
The Hall of Fame annually selects leaders from the sector based on their lifelong commitments to Ontario agriculture. Since 1980, 262 worthy members have been recognized with the honour.
“To qualify for this prestigious recognition, inductees must have shown visionary leadership, innovation, and entrepreneurship and have demonstrated a lasting legacy to Ontario agriculture through their careers,” according to the Hall of Fame website.
