Ontario Agriculture

The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

I saw this event in the Ontag calendar and wondered what others thought of the effectiveness of these meetings?   Are we trying to influence the politicians?  Any other ideas on what else can be done?

Take care,

The Perth County Pork Producers and the Beef Farmers of Perth County are proud to be partners in delivering a unique “Farmers Matter” Town Hall Meeting.  Nov 25 at the Stratford Rotary Complex.

Ontario agricultural pork and beef producers recognize that a strong and targeted event which offers opportunities for constructive dialogue can lead to the development of both effective long-term policies, and immediate short-term solutions to current challenges.

We are inviting local, regional and provincial media to attend and cover the farmers’ stories that have been the catalyst to the creation of this event.

This event has generated great interest from industry professionals, members of the public and farmers who will be attending.

Winter Wheat Variety Yield and Market Share Data – 2025

Winter wheat data from the 2024-2025 Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET) is in! This data provides farmers with unbiased information regarding regional variety performance, allowing for variety comparison. Data was derived from small plot replicated trails from locations across Manitoba. Fungicides were not applied to these plots; thus, true genetic potential can be evaluated. Although considerable data is collected from MCVET, the disease ratings are from variety registration data. Table 2 below summarizes the yield results from the 2025 MCVET data by trial location. The yield results represent 2025 data only; therefore long-term trends should be considered when making variety selection decisions. Previous yield data can be found in past editions of Seed Manitoba. As well, apart from yield, there are other variety characteristics to consider when making variety selection decisions, these include disease, insect, and lodging resistance.
