So many of our 🇨🇦 farmers 👩🏻🌾 across our country have risen this morning in these early morning hours to do something they love that we benefit from in the food we eat.... all while suffering with mental health in silence.
No more ❤️

Sorry to hear the sad news today of the passing of Bill Libby. A very well respected Syngenta and then Setteringtons sales rep. RIP Bill, you will be missed by many.

1 acre of apple orchard will extract about 15 tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air each year (the equivalent of approx. 59,000 kms driven by an average passenger vehicle!) while producing 6 tonnes of fresh oxygen for us breathe.
Happy #EarthDay#OntAg#lovelocal#ONappleAday
Excerpt from OPVG press release.....Dec 17, 2019 – (LONDON) Shockingly, new regulations allow for processors to choose growers they would like to negotiate with, setting the stage for a sham process where the balance of power now lies firmly in the hands of processors.
