Ridgetown

Along with municipal and provincial closures, there will be road closures in Chatham-Kent tomorrow.

Communities including Chatham, Blenheim, Dresden, Merlin, and Ridgetown will see roads shut down to accommodate Remembrance Day parade routes.

Streets connected to some local cenotaphs will stay closed during late morning ceremonies to honor veterans, active service members, and their families.

Most of the closures will be between 9.30 a.m. and noon, except for Erieau, where ceremonies are between 1.30 and 3 in the afternoon.

It's the Ontario Ag Conference.

It's the Southwest Ag Conference, January 5th and 6th at Ridgetown.

It is the Midwestern Ag Conference in Waterloo, and it is the Eastern Crop Conference.

They're all in January.

So again, when you have a question, who do you go to? You go to Dr.

Dave.

Dr. Dave Hooker from Ridgetown Campus, University of Guelph.

He is the guy that just understands how this works.

FOG has canceled school buses in Zones 5, 6 and 7 this morning.

That includes Wallaceburg, Dresden, Thamesville, Ridgetown, Highgate, Pancor, Blenheim, Tilbury and Wheatley.

Buses in all other zones are running and all buses will run this afternoon to take students home.

One of the people hurt at last weekend's deadly fire at CFB Wainwright, Alberta, is from nearby Tecumseh.

I'm glad.

Okay, so we're trying to hook up with this guy from Ridgetown right now, and he is giving up all the comforts of home, and he's trying to raise $12,000 for children and youth in Chatham-Kent.

His name is Isaac Davey, and he began living inside a portable storage container in downtown Chatham a few days ago on Monday as part of Seven Days Contained for Kids.

How cool.

All right, how about this?

And we've been talking about it this hour.

This guy in Ridgetown, he gave up all the comforts of home, Meg.

He's hoping to raise $12,000 to help out the Children's Treatment Center Foundation of Chatham-Kent.

And I think you're doing that.

And we've got a bunch of trials at Mazex and Ridgetown in London, too, where we're trying to find out what's the sweet spot.

And Horst, I don't know what your thoughts are, but how do these beans act? Because I don't think they're acting the same as we would see them when they're planted in May.

Well, that's the really intriguing part, right? These varieties do not respond the same in terms of their maturity just based on the rating when you plant them in July.
