Event Description

Joey Landreth will be performing at Cornell Farms August 8, 2017 beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Born and raised on the Canadian prairies, Joey has grown up with a guitar in his hands. Working as a side man through his teens and early twenties, Joey and his brother David formed The Bros. Landreth when he was 25. They were a runaway success – winning a Juno with their first album and turning the heads of musical heavy-weights such as Bonnie Raitt, John Oates and Jimmie Vaughan. We were lucky to have them perform at Cornell Farms just before they won the Juno.

Now Joey is back at Cornell Farms launching his solo career and blowing audiences away with his musical proficiency, The Toronto Star calls Joey Landreth, “Their New Favourite Thing”.

Tickets:

$ 15.00 in Advance
$18.00 At the Door

Tickets Available at: Tompkins Hardware, Emo Fort Frances Public Library, Fort Frances Cornell Farms (486-3477); www.cornellfarms.ca. (Cornell Farms is located 15 minutes west of Fort Frances on highway 11/71 and 1 mile north on LaVallee Road North)

Depopulation could destabilize food systems

It’s difficult to argue that climate change isn’t the most pressing threat to our agri-food sector. Farmers, processors, distributors, retailers and transporters have all been forced to adapt in real time to extreme weather events, shifting growing seasons and volatile conditions. From droughts to floods to wildfires, climate change has tested the resilience of every link in the food supply chain. Yet, for all the challenges the sector has faced – and will continue to face – due to climate pressures, it has managed to cope reasonably well. Investments in technology, new crop varieties, smarter logistics and infrastructure upgrades have helped absorb many of the shocks. But there is another looming threat – quieter, slower, and far more difficult to reverse – that few in the industry appear prepared for: depopulation. At its core, the food industry is built on one assumption: that there will always be more mouths to feed. Growth in population has long been a proxy for market growth.

Labour shortages create dragnet for agri-food

Canadian agriculture and agri-food consistently punch above their weight. Agriculture and agri-food contribute $111 billion per year – more than $30 million per day – to the Canadian economy, or over six per cent of our GDP. However, there are still more than 16,000 job vacancies on Canadian farms, and this labour crisis is resulting in avoidable financial strain. With that considered, you would think that smoothing out the regulatory red tape – especially on access to labour for farmers – should be highest priority for federal and provincial governments when the shortage is both critical and chronic, proven with many years of data and evidence. When COVID-19 challenged supply chains, action was taken to secure our food supply, but this level of urgency and priority for the sector appears to have come to an end. Producers and workers need new solutions Agriculture is theoretically prioritized in the immigration regulations, but it continues to be squeezed by on all sides. Agriculture
