The Canadian Agricultural Human Resource Council (CAHRC) is pleased to share that the executive summary for the Agri LMI National Report is now available in the document library.

The executive summary reveals a critical 3.7% sales decline ($3.5 billion) due to over 28,000 unfilled jobs in 2022. Anticipating a 15% increase in the domestic labour gap by 2030, the report emphasizes collaborative efforts for sustainable solutions. Key strategies include improving the sector’s perception, enhancing HR practices, attracting skilled immigrants and embracing technology.

The full summary is accessible in the CAHRC document library.

The Executive Summary is part of the outcome of CAHRC’s update to it’s Labour Market Information conducted by The Conference Board of Canada.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
