Ontario Agriculture

The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

Hi everyone 

My name is Katie and I'm a student at the University of Guelph. Here's the kicker - I am not in agriculture and I don't come from a farming background. That's why I am hoping to learn from you! I am hoping to chat with pork producers (current or have farmed in the past) in Bruce, Huron, Middlesex and now Perth counties about your experiences within the industry. 

I am hoping to capture how the industry has changed over time, and what your thoughts are on current government programs and initiatives surrounding pork, by setting up interviews (20 minutes +). I am based in Guelph, but I am willing to travel, or talk over the phone/skype.

Even if you are a bit curious - please get in touch either here, twitter, or email - let your voice be heard!

Thanks for stopping by!

Katie

Throughout the year, EMILI works with innovators to test and validate technology in crops such as potato, wheat, oats, barley, corn, canola, soybeans, and peas. These crops ultimately become food on the tables of Manitoba families. But food instability is an issue for many people.
