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 --

Western Canadian Wheat and Barley Breeding Groups Push for New Long-Term Vision

Western Canadian wheat and barley breeding groups say the sector is at an “inflection point” and needs a renewed, collaborative vision to keep delivering better varieties for farmers and end-use customers. The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition recently brought together stakeholders directly involved in wheat and barley plant breeding in Winnipeg to discuss the future of the sector. Participants included the Canadian Barley Research Coalition, Seeds Canada, the University of Manitoba, the University of Saskatchewan Crop Development Centre and the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Alberta. In a joint statement Thursday, the groups said they agreed that Western Canada’s wheat and barley breeding system should be innovation-driven, while allowing collaboration and competition to exist side by side.
