It appears he’ll remain part of Canada’s ag industry

Kyle Larkin is moving on from his time as the executive director of Grain Growers of Canada (GGC).

“December marks my last month with the organization,” he said in a Dec. 2 LinkedIn post. “Leading GGC has been the best experience of my career.”

Larkin joined GGC in July 2023 bringing experience in government relations, public relations, and politics.

He used that experience to help GGC advocate on behalf of grain farmers.

“Together, we have accomplished much for Canada’s 70,000 grain farmers,” he said in his LinkedIn message.

This included helping secure a full reversal of the capital gains tax increase, pushing for the passage of Bill C-234, and supporting Bills C-244 and C-294 to allow farmers to repair their own machinery.

Though he’s leaving GGC, it appears Larkin’s next landing spot will include Canadian ag.

“Thankfully, I won’t be moving far and look forward to continuing to work with you all in building and growing Canada’s agriculture sector. See you in 2026!” he wrote.

Larkin’s departure means GGC is actively seeking a replacement.

The ideal candidate should “have a background in association management, government relations, and agriculture policy and will have held a comparable role for a similar organization,” the job posting says.

A chain harrow is a game changer

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey. You can find out more about our products and ingredients by visiting our website at www.mimiandpoppysplace.com. There you can shop our products and sign up for our monthly newsletter that highlights a soap or ingredient, gives monthly updates about the homestead, and also lists the markets, festivals, and events we’ll be attending that month.
