Farm safety day back at Battlefords Agricultural Society

Kids in the Battlefords area will have a chance to learn some helpful tips they need to know about staying safe on the farm, during the upcoming Progressive Agricultural Safety Day.

The event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. May 11 at the AgriPlex and AgriVilla buildings, at the exhibition grounds in North Battleford.

Battlefords Agricultural Society general manager Jocelyn Ritchie said this is the first time the organization has held the event since before the pandemic situation, so she was looking forward to offering it again.

“It’s a good program for the school kids,” she said. “They learn about all kinds of safety – from farm safety, water safety, ATV safety, chemical safety – all kinds of different safety aspects.”

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
