Now a must-attend event within the network, this annual gathering highlights the exceptional work of dairy producers and underscores a well-known reality in agriculture: performance is built day after day.\r\n\r\nIn the barns as well as in the fields, early in the morning and late into the evening, it is precise, thoughtful and consistent decisions that make remarkable results possible.\r\n\r\nThe evening was hosted by comedian and magician Martin Rozon, who captivated the audience with surprising performances, creating moments of laughter, amazement and camaraderie among guests.\r\n

The greatest increases in production<\/h4>\r\nBefore unveiling the overall performance results, Uniag recognized the farms that recorded the most significant production increases over the past year. These gains often reflect strategic adjustments, refined herd management, and a remarkable ability to optimize every detail.\r\n\r\n5th place<\/strong> \u2013 Ferme C.G. Lefebvre (QC): +0.19\r\n4th place<\/strong> \u2013 Ferme Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Ltd. (ON): +0.21\r\n3rd place<\/strong> \u2013 Ferme A & L Desnoyers inc.
