Event Description

Get in on the tough conversations

With Andrew Campbell, Fresh Air Media

We've all been there. We see a chance to set the record straight on agriculture – but it's not always easy.

Join us for a webinar that will help you feel more confident and prepared to be a stronger voice for the industry. Over these 60 minutes, Andrew Campbell will talk about the importance of using social media to foster a positive perception of the industry – and show some real-life success stories. He'll also talk about how to deal with some of the not-so-positive dialogue out there. It's not always easy, but it's important – and everyone can do it.

Wednesday, Sept. 24
11:30 MDT (1:30 Ontario time EDT)

The webinar will be available here.

You'll learn about:

  • The role social media can play in advocacy
  • How to use social media to find success
  • The role of positive attitudes and emotions in connecting with consumers
  • Anticipating and addressing tough issues or tough crowds
  • Other opportunities for positive advocacy

Andrew Campbell isn't afraid to face the toughest issues – or audiences – facing today's ag industry. Andrew is the owner of Fresh Air Media, a company dedicated to helping producers and consumers make better decisions through education and information. Andrew left the farm to pursue a career in journalism, but quickly learned that nothing beats the country. Now, he’s returned to the family dairy and crop operation as a partner, and loves nothing more than to see others in the industry become passionate about their role in feeding the world and how new technology and communication tools can help achieve success.

*If you can't join in live, a recorded version will be posted to our website on or before October 15. No registration required!

U.S. corn growers win over Mexico

Corn growers in the United States have defeated a Mexican ban on genetically modified corn varieties in an appeal to the disputes-settling administration under the free trade agreement among Canada, the United States and Mexico (CUSMA). The dispute traces back to December 2020, when Mexican President Andrés Manuel LA’pez Obrador first announced plans to ban GM corn by the end of 2024. Mexico’s position intensified in early 2023 with the issuance of a decree banning GM white corn, effective immediately. This action spurred the National Corn Growers Association and state corn grower groups to push for a formal dispute settlement under the CUSMA, which the U.S. Trade Representative ultimately pursued. The decision also opens the Mexican market to Canadian corn exports. Canada supported the appeal and said “Canada shares the concerns of the United States that Mexico is not compliant with the science and risk analysis obligations under CUSMA’s Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures Chapter

How a Brantford farm machinery company helped bring down the Nazis

A farm machinery company making precision aircraft parts? No chance. “They  were considered forgers of crude iron up to that point,” said Rob Adlam of the Brantford-based Canadian Industrial Heritage Centre. “There’s  a world of difference between making a hand plow and making aircraft  components,” Adlam said. “The government even had doubts they could do  it.” But wartime calls for creativity, and Cockshutt Plow Company in Brantford — best known  for making tractors and harvesters — rose to the occasion to get Allied  planes into the sky to take on Nazi Germany. From inside a million-dollar factory on Greenwich Street — built in just three months in 1943 — Cockshutt’s newly formed aircraft division turned out landing gear for the Lancaster bomber, targeting components for the B-29 Superfortress  bomber, and fuselages for the Mosquito, a speedy, lightweight fighter made of laminated plywood. Pilots at Commonwealth air force training bases across Canada — including in  Jarvis and
