Soccer fans around the world are gearing up for Friday’s start of the 2020 Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) European Championships, also known as the UEFA Euro Cup.

The tournament was originally scheduled to be played in June and July of last year but rescheduled because of the pandemic.

Fans and analysts are submitting tournament brackets, and Farms.com is no different.

Farms.com will determine the group and knockout stage winners using available ag data.

Countries where agriculture is a higher percentage of its overall GDP will move onto the second round of the tournament and so on.

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
