New Crisis Line Launches to Support Mental Health for Canadian Farmers

The Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing (CCAW) has launched the National Farmer Wellness Network (NFWN) Crisis Line, providing tailored mental health support for Canada’s farmers, farm families, and agricultural workers. Backed by a $1.5 million investment over three years from Farm Credit Canada (FCC), this initiative aims to provide accessible, culturally informed, and confidential crisis services to farmers across the country, according to a press release. The crisis line can be reached at 1-866-FARMS01 (1-866-327-6701). “The National Farmer Wellness Network ensures farmers have access to vital, farm-tailored mental health support,” says Dr. Briana Hagen, Chief Executive Officer and Lead Scientist at CCAW. “With FCC’s backing, it tackles industry-specific stressors and strengthens resilience in Canada’s agricultural communities.” Farming is arguably one of the most demanding professions, where the pressures of maintaining productivity and profitability can weigh heavily o

U.S. Tariffs on Canadian Grain Will Cost American Families, Says GGC

The U.S. administration’s decision to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian grain and grain products, set to take effect tomorrow, will drive up the cost of essential food staples for American families, warns Grain Growers of Canada (GGC). “This isn’t just a tariff on Canadian farmers—it’s a tax on every American family purchasing loaf of bread, oatmeal, canola oil, and other food staples at the grocery store,” said Kyle Larkin, Executive Director of GGC. “A 25% tariff is, in effect, a 25% tax on American consumers,” he added. The United States imports over $17 billion worth of Canadian grain and grain products every year to meet domestic demand. These imports include wheat for bread, durum for pasta, oats for food products, canola for oil and biofuels, barley for feed and brewing, and other grain and grain products for widespread usage. As of 2023, Canadian wheat exports to the U.S. totaled over $1 billion, oats reached $580 million, barley accounted for over $200 million, and canola exp

U.S. Tariffs on Canadian Cereals Will Hurt North American Consumers

The United States (U.S.) administration’s decision to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian cereals imports, will sever cross-border supply chains and damage the long-standing relationship between the U.S. and Canada, warns Cereals Canada. The national value chain organization is raising alarms about the severe economic impact that the tariffs will have on the Canadian agriculture sector and the national economy. The U.S. is Canada’s sixth largest market for non-durum wheat, fourth largest market for durum wheat, second largest market for barley, and largest market for oats. “The implementation of significant tariffs on Canadian cereal grains and ingredients will drastically impact their availability in North America, leading to increased costs for food processors, lower returns for farmers, and higher grocery bills for American families,” said Dean Dias, chief executive officer of Cereals Canada. “Our team is working with governments and stakeholders on both sides of the border to
