Labour Day marks the unofficial end of summer ....... and tomorrow, school buses, students and busy morning routines return to our roads. Whether you're behind the wheel of a car, truck or piece of farm equipment, take an extra moment, slow down and stay alert. Watch for school buses, children walking or cycling, and increased traffic on our rural roads.
Let's help make sure everyone gets where they're going and gets home safely.
Have a safe and happy Labour Day from all of us at EthoGuard.

As we head into Labour Day weekend, we’re celebrating the people who keep Canadian Agriculture moving every day of the year. From the field to the barn and everywhere in between, long weekends don’t always mean time off when there are crops to harvest and animals to care for.
Thank you to the farmers, farm families, employees and ag professionals who put in the work day after day.
From all of us at EthoGuard, have a safe and enjoyable Labour Day weekend!

Some things are hard to avoid… and some things aren't. Wild bird droppings can carry harmful bacteria and viruses and your boots can provide the transportation. Before you step inside the barn, think about what could be coming with you.
Protect your livestock. Clean your boots. Practice good biosecurity.

Holiday Monday is Here. Harvest is Here. Drive with Care.
As families head out to enjoy the Civic Holiday Monday, wheat harvest is also in full swing across the countryside.
You'll likely share the road with combines, grain carts, tractors, and transport trucks working long hours to bring in the crop.

Please be patient.
Please slow down.
Please give farm equipment the space it needs.

Whether you're behind the wheel of a combine, a transport truck, or a family vehicle, everyone deserves to get home safely to the people waiting for them.
From all of us at EthoGuard, have a safe and enjoyable Civic Holiday weekend.

Happy Civic Long Weekend from the EthoGuard team.

Effective biosecurity starts with understanding the science behind it.
This insightful discussion featuring Dr. Jose Ramirez explores the critical role proper disinfection plays in protecting swine health and addresses common misconceptions about disinfectant efficacy on the farm.
At EthoGuard, we're proud to provide Canadian producers with Prevail® Disinfectants, powered by Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® (AHP®) technology, helping strengthen biosecurity protocols every day.
Check out the key takeaways in Virox's post below. 👇

In a recent episode of the Popular Pig Podcast by SwineTech, Inc., Dr. Jose A. Ramirez shared insights on the real science behind farm disinfection and addressed some of the most common misconceptions about efficacy in agricultural settings. He also spoke to how Intervention® Disinfectants, powered by Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide® (AHP®) technology, support biosecurity protocols across livestock surfaces and equipment.

It is everyone's responsibility to make sure everyone gets home to their family.

We get it... getting stuck behind farm equipment can be frustrating.

But during wheat harvest, those slow-moving machines are harvesting the wheat that becomes bread, pasta, cereal, and countless other foods we enjoy every day.

Harvest is one of the busiest times of the year for Ontario grain farmers. When conditions are right, every hour counts, which means you'll likely notice more farm equipment travelling on Ontario's roads as farmers move from field to field.

If you come across farm equipment on the road, please be patient. These large machines often need extra space to safely navigate roads, bridges, and intersections, and they can't always pull over to let traffic pass.

When you see the orange Slow Moving Vehicle sign, it's a reminder that the equipment ahead travels at 40 km/h or less.

Slow down. Share the road. Be patient. Save lives.
