ABSTRACT:
Energrow provides Canadian –built farm-scale oil pressing systems. These unique systems enable farmers to take control of their own commodity through direct on-farm processing of high energy and quality bioproducts.
Energrow oil presses produce two main products: meal, a freshly pelletized, high energy and palatable feed, and oil, for use in feed, lubrication, crop spray, and even in direct diesel fuel applications. Through the production and use of these products (both on and off farm), producers are able to significant value to their crops.
The seminar will discuss the process of on-farm oil pressing, the bioproducts and their applications, as well as discuss examples of recent installations and their value to the farmers.
BIOGRAPHY:
Jasmin Hofer has a BA degree in Honours Arts Co-op from the University of Waterloo specializing in Language and International
Trade. With experience growing up on a dairy farm combined with global travel, Jasmin developed a keen sense for the heartaches that farmers suffer from the costs of running a farm operation. Her affiliations with local universities, organizations, and businesses give her a competitive edge to forge lasting partnerships and apply her business knowledge of Canada's agricultural industry. A strong understanding of the agricultural situation in Ontario enables Jasmin to perfect the development of Energrow’s on farm vegetable-oil-pressing systems.
Energrow has been recognized for numerous awards, the most recent of which, the Producer of the Year 2009 (Canadian International Farm Show) and Industrial Innovation President’s Award 2009 (Guelph Chamber of Commerce).

60th Anniversary of London Section
2004 was the 60th anniversary of the London Section. London is the 5th oldest Section in Canada, created as a local organization of the international Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) on October 31, 1944. Then on January 1, 1962, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) Section was formed in London. These two Sections came together on January 1, 1963 when the AIEE and IRE merged to form the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
From left, in Calgary - October 2004, IEEE Canada President Bill Kennedy presents London Section Chair Kash Husain with a certificate recognizing the 60th anniversary of the founding of the London Section. In Niagara Falls - May 2004, Bill presents Kash with the 2003 Section Sustained Membership Growth Award (best in Canada) for thr London Section. At right is the certificate.
