BE FARM SAFETY AWARE

The first step on your safety journey begins with being aware of the importance of farm safety and how to recognize the difference between safe and unsafe practices on your farm.

Safety is a shared responsibility, so it is important to not only make yourself aware of the risks and hazards on the farm, but also anyone who works or visits. By engaging with FarmSafe Manitoba, you can begin to lay the groundwork for better safety on your farm today.

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.
