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

Actions matter more than words. The federal government has made a series of choices that impact farmers across Western Canada. What can they do about it - and what are they willing to do?. We delve into all that in my interview with @realloudlyndsey on @realagriculture.

Great explanation by @DarylFransoo and the @wheatgrowers on the need for infrastructure development at the Port of Vancouver - specifically the Second Narrows Bridge. Our prosperity as a country depends on this port. Canada must start acting like it.

China’s canola tariffs show how Ottawa’s choices can cripple Canadian agriculture. Canola is almost ready for harvest. Our costs are all in. Profit margin is now likely gone. We need the government of Canada to step up with a solution.

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

"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.
