Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show (COFS) and the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM).

September means fall harvest on the farm. While that’s a busy time of year, the Ontario agriculture industry also makes time for two of the biggest agricultural shows on its calendar: Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show (COFS) and the International Plowing Match and Rural Expo (IPM).
COFS is an annual three-day outdoor show held at Discovery Farm Woodstock, taking place this year from September 12 to 14. For almost 30 years, the event has showcased the newest and most innovative products and technologies in agriculture to Ontario’s farm community.
From crop plots and cattle handling demonstrations to the latest in robotic technology and automated farming, Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show is a chance for farmers to see, hear, touch, and ask questions about farming tools, practices, and innovations.
The IPM takes place a week later and is hosted in a different Ontario community each year. This year, Bowling Green, near Orangeville is home to the five-day event, which will take place September 19-23. Just like its name implies, the IPM features plowing competitions, but it offers much more than that, including many opportunities to learn about food and farming.
