Congrats to everyone in the Top 25 Best Managed Dairy Herds! Also thank you to our staff for helping our families farm achieve 18th this year, you are what makes this possible. #CdnAgDay just got better!
Input costs rise for businesses so those biz raise their prices to consumers. #normal
🇨🇦 dairy announces there will be an increase in milk price (that doesn’t come close to make up for the rise in production/input costs) and non-dairy industry lose their minds. 🤯 #inflation
We have really missed having our sales and nutrition teams together in person! A big thank you to the Weir family of Gorweir Farms for hosting us yesterday as our dairy team discussed nutrition challenges faced by producers, and how to address them.

Ag Twitter, in your opinion what is the one skill you give credit to for the success of your operation? Ex: being able to read and understand a balance sheet, people management, ect? #ontag#canadianag#FarmingTwitter
@DitchDoctorLtd Thank you @DitchDoctorLtd, I still remember the times standing in the “buddy seat” in the excavator while cleaning out the manure pit, those were the best days!
@FoodProfessor One thing that u haven't mentioned that these cow diets r 100% vegetarian made up mostly of forages and byproducts from human food consumption,Eg. Each cow eats daily
58kgs forage
16kgs of grain
0.2kgs of palm
No animal byproducts
We should be celebrating dairy not shitting on!
@BurtwistleIan@FoodProfessor @SimonSomogyiAFI Consumers have already been helped by supply management, the CPI for dairy increased 1-3% this year in Canada (Stats Can), while in the USA it increased by 5.7% according to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics. Just another way supply management works for producers and consumers.
@nickbokma@FoodProfessor @SimonSomogyiAFI @nickbokma I was always taught to be optimistic and open minded but when one of the authors won’t even have a conversation with anyone that disagrees with him, I don’t have high hopes!

Every time there was a tragedy on tv my response was this could never happen in small town Nova Scotia. Sadly today I was proven wrong and it did happen. To everyone who lost someone in the past 24 hours I am sorry for your loss, of a mother, father, family member or friend. #NS
