Editorial: Preparing for the unknown

By
Until May 31, 1985 I really had no idea what a tornado was, or that wind could cause so much damage. Like most young children in Ontario, I was blissfully unaware – and untouched by – severe weather. Growing up in the Niagara Peninsula, until that point in my life I had only experienced bad

Editorial: Beware of the POTUS effect

By
It’s well known that U.S. President Joe Biden faces a steep challenge when it comes to winning over voters in farm states, but his efforts of late should give farmers here on the northern side of the border pause. That’s especially so when the goals of ramping up production and curbing inflation appear in the

Editor’s Take: That’s really not COOL

By
Our American cousins are like a lot of extended family. We might love them, most days. But sometimes we watch their antics, scratch our heads, and wonder what the heck they’re thinking. And there aren’t a lot of issues being pursued through their political system that make less sense than the perennial push for mandatory

Editor’s Take: Getting weather whiplash

By
If you’re feeling weather weary these days you’re not alone. Most of the province probably shares your feelings. It was only eight or nine months ago that we were worried the rain would never come again. Then came the winter that wouldn’t go away, where it only warmed up long enough to snow, only to

Editorial: Advancing the farm conversation on social media

By
When social media really began gaining traction about a decade or so ago, the agricultural industry was slow to get on board. This caused some problems early on, particularly for livestock producers because animal activist groups such as PETA, Mercy for Animals and The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) were quick to realize

Editor’s Take: The weakest link

By
As I sit here, writing this editorial, I’m recovering from the last lingering COVID symptoms. I’m hardly alone in this. One recent study suggested that as many as 50 per cent of Canadians have had an infection now. Based on anecdotal evidence from my circle of friends and family, I’m willing to believe that number,

Editorial: Gritty winds of change

By
One of the downsides of spring, aside from its slowness to arrive, is the wind. Invariably before crops get established, we get a series of major wind events that cause soil to move, shearing off the newly emerging plants, and filling ditches with dirt, the air with fine particles and our teeth with grit. These

Editor’s Take: A self-inflicted wound

By
When it comes to farm labour, the sector is guilty of shooting itself in the foot. It’s long been one of the industry’s stated goals to attract talent and grow the workforce, yet at the same time, it’s dragged its feet on every front when it comes to actually making itself a more attractive employer.

VIDEO: Editor’s Take: Off the rails

By
We live in an era of the primacy of markets. In particular, regulation of markets has been deemed as undesirable, a long-term trend that began with neo-conservatism in the late 1970s and early 1980s. But Canadians are increasingly being hit in the face with examples where greater regulation is becoming a necessary evil. From price-fixing
