To honour their custom-
ers, TD Canada Trust held
their seventh annual agricul-
ture seminar at the Seaforth
& District Community Cen-
tre on February 19.
The parking lot was
packed with vehicles as
somewhere in the range of
200 locals made an appear-
ance to learn specific ways to
sharpen their farming skills.
The bank provided snacks in
the morning and a lunch at
noon. The crowd heard from
a couple speakers who lec-
tured about stocks and trade
deals that could potentially
impact their land among
many other topics.
Dave Maddocks, the rela-
tionship manager at TD
Canada Trust in Seaforth has
been present at the event he
calls the "ag" seminar since
day one when only 35 people
attended. Before the event is
put on every year he scours
the countryside far and wide
to notify all the farmers in
the area about the event.
"What we want to do with
each of our seminars is not
only provide food, but to add
some information," Mad -
docks said in the hallway at
the SDCC.
"We try to pick key topics
that are central to the indus-
try, so we can provide some
value back to the
customers."
The branch manager at
the TD Canada Trust in Sea -
forth, Jason Baird said the
turnout is always fairly large.
He considers the four-hour
gathering a fundamental
time for farmers that are
experienced or simply just
newcomers to reap the ben-
efits from the unique
conference.
"It's meant to educate our
current customers and also
draw out customers that
don't bank with TD to say
hey this is how we give back
to our customers, but also
this how we treat our cus-
tomers," he said. "They are
providing (instruction) on
topics they might not know
much about or are interested
