Antique Tractor Pull

Antique tractor pulling is how tractor pulling first got started, although the tractors were just modern tractors at that time. As early as 1929, farmers began attaching their tractors to drags, and dragging it down a field to see who could pull it the furthest.  The Wainfleet Fall Fair's event is a celebration of that history

Taking care of livestock, taking care of equipment, taking care of crops, taking care of the land. Ontario farmers are hard-working and skilled at taking care of so many things. But farmers and the agricultural community face constant, competing, and growing demands like unpredictable weather and unstable markets — so it can be a challenge to make mental health and well-being a priority.

The agricultural community plays a vital role in ensuring Ontario has a healthy economy and local food security – supporting the well-being of all Ontarians. Our programs are tailored specifically for the Ontario agricultural community to provide for their well-being as well.
