Dear Agricultural Organizations, Rural Community and Municipal Leaders in Grey County:
Many of you are well aware of our services here at Grey County Agricultural Services Centre. For those of you who are not, in the year 2000, after changes in government services to the local agricultural industry, the need for a support system for agricultural organizations and the farming community became apparent. We believe that our many farm organizations are an integral part of the fabric of the rural communities throughout Grey County which forms a valued part of our rich heritage. We are a “not for profit organization”, supported by the County of Grey, and many local agricultural groups. We are not OMAFRA, but we certainly work closely with those organizations, and provide many of the services that you came to expect from an OMAFRA office.
The support from the County of Grey is truly appreciated, and is expressed by the many people who use our services on a regular basis. The Grey County Agricultural Services Centre provides a strong central focus for agriculture in Grey County and the province. We coordinate and organize local, regional and provincial events and assist with communication throughout the agriculture community by providing a network where farmers, farm organizations and agribusiness can work together. Agriculture is the largest industry in the economy of Grey County. We provide a strong central focus for agriculture in Grey County and beyond.
If our team can be of any help to your organization, or to you personally, please call or email us. If we do not have the answer, we will provide an appropriate referral.
Sincerely yours,
LorieLorie SmithVice President & Office Manager,Grey County Agricultural Services
