Farm & Food Care Announces Its AGM

Mar 20, 2013

Keynote Speaker to Address How Farmers Can Share Their Story More Effectively

Farmers everywhere are being encouraged to share their story on social media – but are they effective?

Farm & Food Care, an Ontario based organization that seeks to build awareness and a greater appreciation for farming and food, will be tackling some consumer perception questions at its Annual General Meeting set for April 3rd, 2013.

The organization announced that its keynote speaker (Wes Jamison) for the AGM, will addressing the question – “Is telling the farm story enough in this crazy world of YouTube and negative headlines?” Jamison is an Associate Professor of Public Relations at Palm Beach Atlantic University who will bring his expertise in public relations and political science to his presentation.

The second speaker Colin Siren, Vice President of Ipsos Agriculture & Animal Health will speak about the commissioned Canadian public attitudes survey on topics relating to food, farming, environment, and animal welfare. Siren’s presentation is expected to be interactive, which will include things like polling audience members throughout the talk.

In addition to the two featured speakers, Farm & Food Care will be launching its new young farmer special media outreach program, present the Farm & Food Champion Award, and have an election for its Board of Directors.

Video: Case IH Grain Drill Assembly: Extra Hands Required

its time to put things back together on the International 5100 grain drill. I reassemble all the row units back together and then try to install it back on the drill by myself. But that proved to be more challenging than I figured. So I enlist some help from Logans. It was so much fun having my son's help with farm projects. Its truly takes family to help make farming successful.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
