Acknowledgement and acceptance are part of the pathway to freedom, says Brett Gardiner. It’s also important to recognize that you aren’t alone. Key points on #MentalHealth at #FCCYoungFarmerSummit.
It’s a pleasure to be at @FCCagriculture#YoungFarmerSummit learning from my fellow speakers and connecting with other #OntAg farmers about farm business management.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our annual field day yesterday. We appreciate all of the insights shared by our guest speakers, including @OMAFRA’s Horst Bohner, @agroliquid’s John Leif, and @Alex_Zelem. I enjoyed many great #ontag conversations.
It was a pleasure to work with @OntarioSoilCrop to gather industry insights into opportunities for the future of the Ontario Environmental Farm Plan. Check out our report to learn more! #ontag#SustainableAgriculture
We’re thrilled to share that we recently collaborated with @OntarioSoilCrop to identify opportunities for modernizing the Ontario EFP! Thanks to everyone who participated in the consultation process. Visit our website for more info. https://t.co/esH0IZaKkU #SustainableAg#ontag
We have to find a way to adjust the delivery of our extension services based on demographics and farmographics, Heather Watson of @FMC_GAC says at #ifma24.
We confuse resilience with putting our head down and persevering, says @MegzReynolds at #ifma24. But we need to be able to hit pause and process what we are experiencing.
Resilience is a skill we can learn and enhance, Jack Cocks says at #ifma24. We can help to build resilience by constructing positive stories around adversity. We also need to focus on our purpose, connections, and wellbeing.
Continuous learning, paying attention to detail and listening to advisors has helped to bullet proof his farm, says Jake Leguee at #ifma24. @FMC_GAC’s National Farm Leadership Program changed the way he shows up on the farm.
Standardized financial statements are the backbone to benchmarking, says Mark Verwey in a session moderated by Steve Duff of @FMC_GAC at #ifma24.
It’s important to benchmark against yourself and make incremental improvements.
The reason we create financial statements is to optimize decision-making, says Dick Whitman at #ifma24. People don’t understand the true cost of bad decisions.
At #ifma24, J.P. Gervais says we can rekindle productivity growth in ag by:
- increasing our efficiency (the small gains matter!)
- increasing our scale (allowing different sizes and types of farms to scale up)
- shifting our production possibility frontier through innovation
So great to see and hear all of the collaboration, brainstorming, and co-development (the word of the day!) happening at this workshop today! #AgLivingLab@WiltonConsult
