Farm World 26-28 March 2021 LARDNER PARK
Farm World Lardner Park Returns 2021 Farm World “Return to Heritage” After a year of cancelled agricultural events, Farm World was the 1st of the major field days to make it back on to the 2021 event calendar, strict covid19 protocols in place, pre purchasing of event tickets essential, the Farm World event could boast selling out and over 50,000 pre-event tickets sold. By the end of the 3 day event the Maine Anjou Society exhibitors felt like they had spoken to each and every one of them the event was a huge success. There were several obstacles confronting the exhibitor team this year which made planning and participation both challenging and uncertain. These challenges included the threat of lock downs, possible boarder closures or last minute cancellations. The old site with its large separate pens and open grass space for additional yarding was no longer available. The new exhibit space has 2 small adjoining pens, limited static display area with a floor plan of the shed only to work with. Add to this uncertainty of the new shed being completed on time, the requirement of a covid safe plan for the exhibit and the announcement 10 days out of a “Best Cattle Exhibit” competition really put the pressure on and stretched the imagination of the societies 2 person team. Loading up the Ute Wednesday night, the team headed off in the fog on Thursday morning for a 5 hour drive. The exhibitors set out armed with Covid protocols, cattle feed, Maine- Anjou promotional material, an exhibit display idea, overalls, a couple of posters, a few things French and a few old bits and pieces from around the farm and the 2 young bulls in tow.
