Foreign agricultural workers are absolutely essential to the successful operations of our farms, our food plants, and, as a result, our food security. We are doing everything necessary so they can arrive safely and as scheduled.

The @HNHealthUnit's medical officer of health has decreed that newly arrived farm workers self-isolating in hotels cannot leave their rooms for their entire 14-day quarantine, @jpantonacci reports

Peter Quiring, Nature Fresh Farms, describes the temporary shutdown of the greenhouse June 30: “It’s like jumping out of a highly-tuned formula car at full speed and hoping nothing happens to the car.” Link to video: https://t.co/MN0sDqnjMY @Nature_Fresh https://t.co/JbnxFtciQa

While some test results are still pending, @BrettSchuyler hopes his farm is past the worst of the outbreak. No workers were hospitalized and “a handful” have minor symptoms. “The No. 1 thing being a workforce that all in all is taking this seriously,” Schuyler said.

“It should be a proud thing to come up and work on the farm.” Simcoe farmer @BrettSchuyler says his farm couldn’t function without migrant workers but the #SAWP program needs improvement.

@Dustyzam Look forward to having a conversation with you one day without the call dropping.

It is critical that farm workers are treated with respect and dignity, are paid fairly, have access to health care and benefits, and importantly, are safely housed. Read a letter from Ontario’s fruit and vegetable farmers here.
