This year, Grain Farmers of Ontario plans to host an in-person event with live streaming of speakers for farmer-members and others who wish to attend online. Although the event is being planned as an in-person event, Grain Farmers of Ontario will adhere to public health guidelines and mandates on attendance limits and safety protocols.

Sowing the Seeds of Opportunity, Innovation, and Tomorrow

The 2022 March Classic is celebrating the future, by sowing the seeds of opportunity, innovation, and tomorrow.

From new opportunities to new innovations that keep our food system secure for tomorrow.

Other than meal tickets, there is no cost to attend the event.
