August Outreach Update

Thank you to the Barrie Farmers’ Market and the Patagonia Store in downtown Toronto for hosting the Ontario Farmland Trust in August. We had a blast talking with market goers and customers! Almost 100 passionate and curious folks stopped to chat about the importance of protecting our precious and limited farmland and to learn about the work of land trusts.

OFT was happy to offer a raffle prize donated by the Patagonia store for those that visited our booth in the store. As a result, 16 visitors graciously donated to OFT for a chance to win Patagonia’s 40L Black Hole Duffel. We were able to raise $150 which will directly support our mission in protecting farmland forever.

Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Video: Seed Testing: Regulatory Cost or Competitive Advantage?

Most seed companies see testing as a regulatory box to check.

But what if it’s actually one of your strongest competitive advantages?

In this conversation with Amanda Patin, North America Business Development Director for US Crop Science at SGS, we dig into what seed testing really reveals, far beyond germination and a lab report. From seed vigor and mechanical damage to stress performance and pathogen pressure, Patin explains how deeper testing can help companies differentiate their seed, protect value, and drive real return on investment.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
