4-H Ontario Receives $4,000 from Grain Farmers of Ontario Fundraiser

ROCKWOOD, ONT. – On March 22 4-H Ontario was presented with a $4,000 cheque from Grain Farmers of Ontario after a successful fundraiser hosted at the 2022 March Classic in London, Ont. Grain Farmers of Ontario hosted a t-shirt fundraiser in support of 4-H Ontario at the March Classic, the premier annual event hosted for Grain Farmers of Ontario members.

“We are very grateful for the Grain Farmers of Ontario for thinking of 4-H Ontario as a recipient for this fundraising effort. We really appreciate the support and will put the funds to good use in our mission to help develop youth into contributing citizens that impact positive change in our communities,” says Christine Oldfield, Executive Director, 4-H Ontario.  

Grain Farmers of Ontario created t-shirts with the phrase “Keep Calm and Grain ON” to be sold in the exhibitor hall at the March Classic. A portion of sales were donated to 4-H Ontario and in addition, Grain Farmers of Ontario matched the proceeds raised from t-shirt sales and the Grain Farmers of Ontario Board of Directors each made contributions.

“We are grateful for 4-H Ontario taking part in our March Classic this year and we are tremendously proud to support their incredible efforts to engage youth in agriculture,” said Crosby Devitt, CEO, Grain Farmers of Ontario. “4-H Ontario programming is vital to keeping the legacy of farming and agriculture thriving in our province, throughout the generations, and we hope our donation can help support the great work being done.”

4-H Ontario will use the funds raised to support their youth programs across the province. Grain Farmers of Ontario has supported 4-H Ontario in the past through sponsorship of the Ontario 4-H Foundation golf tournaments and Career Mania youth program.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
