Thank you TD Bank for sponsoring
Grey Ag 2026 Winter Courses!
Thank you to the businesses who advertise in our Agricultural Programs brochure.
About the Courses & Webinars
Winter courses have been a tradition of Grey Ag Services for decades. The trusted Ag Programs Brochure lands in roughly 11,000 rural mail boxes across the area each December. It contains information for courses available from February - April, plus the Grey Bruce Farmers Week program, and is filled with valuable sponsorship advertisements from local organizations.
Courses are offered in various formats (in-person, virtually or hybrid), so be sure to take note of where you will be attending from. The address for Grey Ag Services is Unit 3, 206 Toronto St. S, Markdale ON. This is the location of most in-person courses.
Meeting links for virtual workshops will be sent out the day prior to the course. Please keep an eye on both your email inbox and junk mail folders as sometimes messages are filtered into the wrong spot. If you do not see that email by the day of the course, (or if you have any other questions) please reach out to info@greyagservices.ca or call 519-986-3756.
These courses are a reflection of what you want to see. Please let us know what you are interested in. Grey Ag strives to present a variety of content that will appeal and apply to all aspects of agriculture in Grey County.
Thank you to the companies who advertise in our winter course program. Their support helps make our programming viable!

Would you like to be added to our mailing list? Let us know using the chat function on the bottom right of your screen!
You'll get an email notice when big events are happening (like Grey Bruce Farmers' Week, or the start of our Winter Course Program) and receive a newsletter once in the spring and once in the fall. The odd time we are asked to help get important information out to producers from the County, but that's not very often. If you let us know what your area of interest is, we can let you know when an event specific to that is happening (ex. crops, canning, dairy, etc.).
