4-H Ontario COVID-19 Update

4-H Ontario has been closely monitoring COVID-19 developments this week. We felt it important to send an update to our participants, volunteers, and partners. These are challenging times and we will get through them together.  
 
The suspension of all 4-H Activities has been upgraded from recommended to mandatory until April 3, at which time we will re-evaluate based on direction from the Government of Ontario and Public Health Ontario. We will communicate updates as the situation develops. 
 
4-H Ontario is putting together club resources and activities for youth and parents to use while their kids are at home. Look for regular updates on social media.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
