Event Description

Information Launch Meeting: Study of Farm Business Management Planning Behaviours in Ontario

In July, 2010 AMI began working with Ipsos-Reid to conduct a study which would determine how and where farmers are getting their farm business management information and advice.  After analysing nearly 1,500 farmers from across Ontario, the baseline study is now complete.

 “What makes this study unique is that it puts quantifiable evidence behind the idea that farm business planning creates results.” says AMI Executive Director Ryan Koeslag.  The baseline study findings will help the AMI to provide credible and affordable resources to help farmers create an actionable business plan not only for times of major market changes and lack of profits, but to formulate a baseline for their own business to work from. 

Join us at the information launch where Colin Siren from Ipsos-Reid will present an in-depth look at the report findings.

China Imposes 75.8% Tariff on Canadian Canola, Escalating Trade Dispute

China has imposed a provisional 75.8% anti-dumping duty on Canadian canola, a move that could effectively halt exports to its largest customer.

Agricultural plastics management engagement

We are gathering insights and perspectives about how a regulatory approach could be applied to managing agricultural plastics waste. Agricultural plastics, such as baler twine, grain bags, bale wrap, and silage plastic, can cause waste challenges for agricultural producers and agricultural businesses and leave lasting environmental impacts. Currently, recycling options for agricultural plastics are limited to certain materials and rely on voluntary approaches or pilot programs. Shifting to a regulatory approach would provide long-term certainty for material management, a level playing field for agricultural plastics producers, and economies of scale to better support processing facilities. It would also encourage agricultural plastics producers to develop innovative waste management solutions. Get informed In Alberta, there are currently 2 regulatory approaches for the end-of-life management of waste materials that can be recycled. The approaches are typically referred to as extend

Canola Industry Statement on China’s Preliminary Ruling on Canadian Canola Seed Imports

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) and Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) are deeply disappointed with today’s preliminary ruling by China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) as part of its anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola seed imports. In its ruling, MOFCOM announced the imposition of a 75.8% duty, collected in the form of a deposit, on all Canadian canola seed shipments as of August 14, 2025. Since the beginning of China’s anti-dumping investigation in September 2024, the Canadian canola industry has been consistent in its position that Canada’s canola trade with China is aligned with and supports rules-based trade, fair market access and competitiveness of Canadian canola in the Chinese market. China is a highly valued market and the Canadian canola industry has and will continue to work hard to meet Chinese customer and food security needs. “With this preliminary determination of dumping for canola seed together with the existing 100% anti-discrimination tarif

Farmers React as Canola Prices Drop Amid China’s New Tariffs

Following China’s announcement of steep anti-dumping duties on Canadian canola, farmers share their reactions and worries about the immediate financial impact and potential ripple effects in the agricultural sector.

From a tough crop year to livestock feed gains in Alberta

The governments of Canada and Alberta, through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, increased the low yield allowance so farmers can use poor crops for feed. The 2025 crop year continues to be challenging in some regions of Alberta. Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) has adjusted the low yield allowance, enabling farmers to salvage crops for livestock feed in an effort to reduce producers’ feed-related costs. The low yield allowance is a standard part of production insurance and is meant for situations where there may not be value in harvesting for grain (for example, low yield due to extreme heat and severe drought). Producers should contact AFSC at least 5 days in advance of harvesting to share details about their situation and find out how best to proceed. AFSC will work with clients to complete a field inspection as soon as possible. This change means that if the appraised yield falls below the established threshold level, AFSC can reduce the apprai
