It’s no secret that 2020 has felt endless, more like a decade than 12 months. And as it draws to a close there is hope on the horizon in the form of vaccines and new therapeutics for Covid-19. But according to experts it will be months, if not another year, before life returns to normal ‒ which means the “new normal” that we’ve had to adapt to will continue into 2021.
Major events around the world have had to make a digital pivot – the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair is one success story – and people are flocking to their screens, large and small, to participate and support exhibitors and vendors alike.
The upcoming Grey Bruce Farmers’ Week (GBFW), which celebrates its 55th year in January, is tossing its hat in the virtual ring, too. The GBFW committee wasted no time in setting up for what they’re calling “the best virtual conference possible” in the New Year. So, if you’re a farmer or just happen to be passionate about agriculture and livestock, you can access the GBFW in the comfort and safety of your farm house, office or yes, while sitting on your tractor!
