Surplus farm houses

Over the last year and a half in Perth County we have had the surplus farm house issue visited twice. Most recently about a month ago county council decide to turn the motion down for the second time. The issue we divide people easier than picking your favorite hockey team. I don't believe there is a right or wrong answer but my problem is if it has been defeated twice why in after only a month of being defeated is it back on the table. This almost feels like a federal election. Democercy has to be considered some where along the line perhaps we have to have the best 3 out of 5. In tough economic times does our elected people have nothing better to do. It is like the dog that has chased a cat up the tree and won't move until it comes down(alot of wasted energy and resources for no reason). Anyway just wanting to hear other thoughts on the severance of surplus farm houses. Yes or No

I have several farm houses that I rent out and can see the merits of both sides of this argument. I do not think I want to sell mine . I would like to rent them out to some one that would take care of them. I am not interested in making a lot of money from them I would just like to breakeven, and have my building maintained.As renters come and go the the building seems to decline. I can not believe there are not people out there that would fulfill this goal, but they seem to be few and far between in my experience. It would be nice to be able to be to participate in some program for the distressed or under privileged that would help ensure payment and find the right tenants.

Not so happy landlord

Update on AAFC Staffing Reductions and Canola Research

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)’s decision to close multiple research stations and reduce staff across the country is alarming. Consultation is urgently needed so research funders understand the impacts of the cuts, explore alternatives where needed, and identify paths forward. AAFC researchers and facilities are world-class, and they have played a crucial role in advancing canola production for Canadian farmers. Alberta Canola, Manitoba Canola Growers and SaskOilseeds expresses our heartfelt gratitude to the AAFC researchers, technicians, and other supporting staff who have contributed to growth and profitability of the canola sector in Canada. Canadian farmers have earned Canada’s place as a leading oilseed supplier, with canola contributing billions to the Canadian economy; these government cuts raise serious questions about the support needed to sustain that success. Canola growers invest millions of dollars per year in research projects, many of which are being led and

Joint Letter on the Closure of Federal Agricultural Research Centres

We are writing to express our deep disappointment with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s recent decision to close three federal research and development centres and four satellite research farms across Canada, including the research and development centre in Lacombe, Alberta. Research and development are critical to advancing industries and economies by addressing current challenges and building resilience for the future and has played a vital role in growing agricultural exports to $100.3 billion in 2024 (AAFC, 2025). In the context of today’s global environment and declining productivity for Canadian agriculture, it is more important than ever to support domestic research capacity to ensure Canada remains a leader in agriculture for years to come. Public investment in agricultural research has historically delivered some of the highest economic returns of any government expenditure. Independent studies consistently demonstrate that agricultural research and development generates st
