Dairy Farmers of Canada eager to work with new government

Oct 22, 2019

OTTAWA - Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) congratulates Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party on winning the 2019 federal election, and forming a minority government. DFC also extends its congratulations to Mr. Scheer and the Conservative party for forming the official opposition, and to all opposition leaders for a hard-fought campaign.

In the context of a minority government, support from all parties for dairy issues becomes essential. Throughout the campaign, all parties with MP's elected to the House of Commons today have taken positions in support of dairy farmers, and we thank them for their commitments.

During the campaign, the parties pledged to compensate dairy farmers for trade agreement-related losses, and committed to no more concessions in future trade agreements, as well as being favourable to keeping the current Canadian content threshold to ensure transparency for the "Product of Canada" label.

"We will continue to work collaboratively with Prime Minister Trudeau's new government as well as with all opposition parties, on behalf of dairy farmers from across the country, to ensure a thriving dairy sector today and for future generations of dairy farmers," added Mr. Lampron.

Video: Winter Service Inspections for John Deere Equipment - The FarmCast Ep64

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
