To all Ontario Pork producers,
 
Ontario Pork is closely monitoring recommendations from the government and public health as well as news from industry partners in relation to the rapidly changing COVID-19 situation.
 
As of March 23:
  • Border restrictions relate to people only. Trade and commerce, including livestock movement, will continue.
  • Processing plants in Ontario continue to operate, with procedures in place to reduce the risk of disease transmission and ensure business continuity.
  • In an update on Monday morning, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced there will be new measures to support farmers and agri-food businesses facing financial impacts of COVID-19, including $5 billion in lending capacity for producers, agribusinesses and food processors.
  • Minister Bibeau confimed temporary foreign workers in agriculture, agri-food, seafood processing and other key industries will be permitted to enter Canada. All individuals entering from abroad must isolate for 14 days upon their arrival.
  • There is no evidence that pigs are susceptible to COVID-19.

Video: Iran War = “Trend is Your Friend” Short-Term BUT……


Historically wars like the 2026 Iran war are bullish hard assets like grains, metals and energy! The funds are spooked and do not want to be short, but do they price in the news over time, similar to the Ukraine/Russian war that started on Feb. 24, 2022? A closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the key to the surge in crude oil, natural gas prices and fertilizer prices.  Grains are breaking out to new contract highs as a hedge against inflation.
