Ontario Goat Producers Voted No!

Goat Producers Reject Marketing Board Proposal


By , Farms.com

The votes were cast and the results are in - Ontario goat producers voted no to a proposal for the creation of a goat marketing board. In order for the vote to have passed, two-thirds of goat producers would have had to voted yes, representing 50 per cent of goat farmers who casted their ballot. If the vote would have been yes, the Ontario Goat Producers would have filed paperwork to the Ontario Farm Products Marketing Acts and to receive official marketing board status.

Proponents for the marketing board including Ontario Goat President Anton Slingerland says that it’s a real lost opportunity for Ontario goat producers, explaining that having a board would have allowed the industry to work collectively, develop frameworks to  address infra-structure, leadership and an overall vision for goat producers in Ontario. The Ontario Goat Producers represent the provinces milk, meat and fibre goat farmers.
