🌾 Municipal councils make important decisions that shape the future of #ontag communities, including many issues that directly impact agriculture.

This October’s municipal elections are an opportunity for more farmers and rural leaders to step forward and bring their voices to the council table. Municipal government works best when it reflects the communities it serves. That means ensuring rural and agricultural perspectives play a meaningful role in the decisions that matter most 🚜

🦺 Kids belong on the farm. They learn hard work, responsibility, and love of the land just by being by your side. But farm yards and driveways are one of the most dangerous places for children.

Let’s use Canada’s Agricultural Safety Week as an opportunity to teach farm kids about the risks on the farm and empower them with the knowledge they need to stay safe.

You can purchase teaching resources here ➡️ https://t.co/0i1Bq2JukY

The OFA Hi-Visibility Child Safety Vest also ensures kids are seen by every large vehicle, and every person on your property,

✅ Bright hi-vis yellow & orange
✅ Reflective strips front and back
✅ Adjustable fit for all-day wear
✅ Available through OFA’s website

Because the next generation of farmers deserves to grow up safe. 🌱

Today is Canada’s Agriculture Day 🇨🇦🌾 Ontario’s farmers do more than grow food.

They support local jobs, strengthen our local economies, and help keep our communities thriving.
From food, fuel, fibre, and flowers, #ontag touches every Ontarian, every day.

Today, we celebrate the farmers who make it all possible and continue to advocate for policies that keep farms strong and rural communities growing.

Most Ontarians don’t see farms as small businesses, but we fit all the criteria as entrepreneurs who manage budgets, make investments, hire staff, build relationships with customers and suppliers, and market our products.

But just like many of Ontario’s other small businesses, we face challenges that make it harder for us to grow. One of the biggest is red tape.

As farmers continue with #harvest25 this labour day weekend 🚜 ⚠️ we remind both farmers and the public to stay alert, slow down, and be patient. Let’s all do our part: share the road, stay in your lane, and only pass when it’s safe to do so ✅.

Together, we can ensure everyone gets home safely 🏡❤️.
