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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[John Gal @JgalJohn]

Excellent talk with ⁦@OMAFRA⁩ Horst Bohner on the benefits of nitrogen application on soybeans. #soybeans #pushingyield #nitrogen

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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

[Wilton Consulting Group @WiltonConsult]

@AggieMaggiethe @FMC_GAC Same, Maggie. On both fronts!

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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.

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

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

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

Because of supporting prices, profitability looks interesting for Canadian cattle producers in 2024, J.P. Gervais says at #ifma24

[Andrea M. Gal @AMGalAg]

Canadian farm debt has grown to make more investments to support productivity, says J.P. Gervais at #ifma24
