From OMAFRA Exeter Agribusiness  Breakfast Minutes:


Corn:  Corn planting ranges from as little as 10% in the north to 95% complete, depending on the region.  The Exeter area is essentially finished.  Excellent ground conditions all spring except that some fields got too dry. Rain yesterday was perfect for those fields.  Larger growers have finished planting corn and have switched to soybeans.  It’s estimated that 50-60% of the crop has been planted in the province. (35% forEastern Canada)  A few producers are still deciding on what to plant for the last few fields.  Strong soybean prices will shift any swing acres to soybeans (less than 5% switch overall).  The market is using price to buy soybean acres.  Corn seed in every heat unit range is still available, but hopefully no replants will be necessary.  No freeze injury on early planted corn has been reported to date.

How the Ford government’s new omnibus bill could affect Ontarians’ say in environmental decisions

On its first day back after a 21-week break, the government under Premier Doug Ford introduced a sweeping bill that could change how Ontarians learn about provincial decisions affecting the environment — and what residents can do if they disagree. By day two, Bill 140, the Building Ontario Faster Act, 2026, reached second reading. But it didn’t sit well with the opposition. “The government does not want people to tell them what they think. I very much would like the public to have a chance to participate in their democracy,” Oshawa MPP Jennifer K. French said during debate at Queen’s Park on Oct. 28. For more than three decades, the Environmental Bill of Rights has given Ontarians a formal role in government decisions that could affect their air, water, land and communities. “It gives the public a wide range of tools that they can use to protect themselves and protect the environment,” Richard Lindgren, a lawyer with the Canadian Environmental Law Association said. “But if Bill 140
