- History / Biographical
- Junior Farmers started in 1914 with Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Short Courses. The Junior Farmers Organization started in Elgin County in 1922. This organization became active in agricultural judging competitions in the county. The Elgin County Junior Farmers' Association evolved in 1945 after new branches were formed in Elgin County.
