Ridgetown has been chosen as the site of the 60th annual Southwestern Ontario Pork Conference to be held Feb. 21, 2024.
The theme of the year’s event is “Moving Forward,” designed to showcase new ideas in benchmarking, barn renovations and more.
“It’s all about keeping producers informed and up to date while providing a place for industry reps to visit with their customers,” said Darren Sloan, chair of the 2024 SWOPC Planning Committee.
Held at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus, the conference will feature presentations by Ryan Martin of RFW Farms Ltd., OMAFRA team members Laura Eastwood and Steve Beadle, Dr, Greg Wideman from South West Vets, Ryan Tenbergen from Demeter Veterinary Services and Matt Davis from Hord Family Farms in Ohio.
Numerous industry sponsors are stepping up to make the event happen and participants are encouraged to visit the trade show area, where complimentary refreshments will be served. Swine barns tours and an evening social are also on the agenda.
