Ontario Agriculture

The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

Any feedback on this new OntAg website?

We are planning to launch this new website at the Outdoor Farm Show next week and wondered if there are any ideas or feedback on how we can make it better for the Ontario Agriculture community.

Thanks,

Joe Dales and Andrew Campbell and the Farms.com team.

I just wanted to say that as a freelance farm writer/broadcaster, I have been looking for an easy and effective means to network. I tried Facebook, but that didn't work for me. However, this site seems to fit the bill perfectly. It is also very professional and informative.

Provincial crop ratings remain stronger than the five-year average, but Alberta farmers are dealing with a sharp regional split: declining moisture in the South and Central regions and persistent wet conditions farther north. Alberta’s 2026 crop is still looking comparatively strong heading into August, but the provincial average masks very different conditions from one end of the province to the other. As of Aug. 4, 58.1 per cent of Alberta’s major crops were rated in good-to-excellent condition.
