How do we engage with the vast majority of people that don't have any experience with farming? . I really enjoyed the opportunity to share our farm's story during seeding this spring, and how we are working to bridge this gap. Canadian Food Focus did an amazing job on this video

Very frustrating and disappointing to see the minimal representation of the west in the new Ag Committee. Western Canada needs more than 1 of the 10 seats on such an important committee.

How can farmers help build a better future—for both their farms & the environment?. At #AmericasAgForum25 in Olds, I shared that it can only happen when farmers are free to choose what is best for their own farms. Thanks @IICAnoticias & @oldscollege for the important

Great engagement with Ministers MacDonald & @DarylHarrison20 at @rgstone1's farm. Rob showcased modern ag tech brilliantly. Encouraging to hear agriculture framed as an economic driver needing vision and investment. #CdnAg #FutureOfFarming

Very proud that @SaskWheat was able to commit substantial funds to this important capacity building at @usask!.

"I'm determined to make a difference." . New Ag Minister Heath MacDonald, in his interview on @realagriculture, said a lot of the right things: a willingness to learn, working with provincial ag ministers, building relationships with our trading partners, reducing the regulatory.

This is not the right path for Canada. My children - and theirs - shouldn't have to pay for vote buying. Cast your vote carefully.
The Liberal Party of Canada is promising to roll out almost $130 billion in new spending over the next four years that, when combined with existing spending, will add $225 billion to the federal debt.

The @farnamstreet podcast by @ShaneAParrish is one of my absolute favorites. He is one of the best interviewers I've heard. This podcast he recorded with @PierrePoilievre is simply excellent. Every Canadian needs to listen in on this conversation.

Great news. Thank you @MBGov for investing in the future of agriculture. @Cereals_Canada's Gate project will ensure Canadian farmers will continue to prove we grow the best cereals in the world.

Who started this tariff war with China? Not farmers. Who's paying the price? Farmers. We cannot be expected to borrow our way out of this. Fighting a tariff war on two fronts - with superpowers - is folly. Either drop the tariffs. Or support farmers directly.
