Ontario Agriculture

The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

One week left in my smartphone/social media survey - would you participate?

I'm very excited at the response to the OMAFRA/University of Guelph survey on social media and smartphone use in Ontario agriculture. If you haven't participated, would you take a few minutes this week to answer it?  It can be found at http://www.ipsosresearch.com/omafra/.  We are looking for participation from all parts of Ontario agriculture -- and not just from smartphone or social media users.  If you don't use those tools, we want to hear from you, too.

I've received lots of positive feedback.  I'm especially happy to hear that people find it easy and quick to answer.  It's mostly clicking on your choices, with a few questions where you can type in a short answer.

The survey closes on March 5.  We hope to be able to share the results sometime in April.

You can learn more at http://ontario.ca/jnh9.

If you like the survey, please share the link with others in Ontario agriculture.  The more responses we get, the better the information will be!

Thank you --

USDA Official Calls California’s Prop 12 a Threat to a Unified U.S. Pork Market

A senior USDA official has renewed strong criticism of California’s Proposition 12, calling the state’s animal housing and product sale standards a form of domestic trade protectionism that could disrupt the national pork market and raise costs for producers and consumers. At a recent agriculture policy event, the deputy secretary of agriculture described laws like Prop 12 as creating de-facto trade barriers within the United States. Under the complaint, when a single state sets production standards that apply not just to products sold from within the state but to all products entering its borders, it can place producers in other regions at a competitive disadvantage. Prop 12, first approved by California voters in 2018, sets minimum space requirements for certain livestock and prohibits the sale of pork and other animal products in California that do not meet those standards. Because California represents a large share of U.S. pork consumption but only a small share of production, t
