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
