Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame inductee John Willmott burned the brand to officially open the 46th Canadian Western Agribition Nov. 21.
Willmott, 82, ranches near Pense, Sask., where he moved from Ontario in 1974 after attending the first Agribition as a judge.
He has served on the executives of 19 agricultural organizations, including Agribition, Canada’s Farm Progress Show and the Canadian Angus Association.
He continues to volunteer at the show and said he was honoured to burn the Agribition brand.
