Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) is pleased to share that Evan Chaffe has been selected as one of two individuals chosen to represent the North American region on the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) Youth Advisory Group.

This prestigious appointment provides the opportunity for some of the globe’s top youth leaders to engage in dialogue, consultation and joint analysis on the environmental, social and economic challenges facing the global livestock sector. The Agenda is a partnership of livestock stakeholders committed to the sustainable development of the sector through simultaneous continuous improvement in three main areas: global food security and health; equity and growth; and resources and climate. Evan’s knowledge and experience will serve as tremendous assets as he represents both the beef and broader North American livestock sector.

Evan is a recent graduate of the Advanced Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP), and is a past Ontario representative to the Canadian Cattle Youth Council. Since 2020, Evan has served as a Policy Advisor with BFO, and previously spent time in roles with Farm Credit Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. Evan grew up on a beef and cash crop farm in Mitchell Ontario.

Video: Same Grit, New Name: A Conversation with Ryan Calistro of Bower Ag

Swine Leaders Live, we sit down with Ryan Calistro, President of Bower Ag, to discuss a major brand transition in the ag construction and solutions space—and what it means for swine producers. Bower Ag represents a new, unified identity, bringing together Ag Property Solutions, Dairy Specialists, and The Dairy Solutions Group under one name. But as Ryan explains, this isn’t about change for the sake of change—it’s about strengthening what already works and delivering more value to producers.

We dive into:

• What Bower Ag is and why the transition was made

• What stays the same for longtime customers

• How combining multiple businesses creates new opportunities for producers

• What today’s producers are asking for—and how Bower Ag is responding

• Key insights heading into World Pork Expo

If you’ve worked with APS before—or are evaluating partners for your next project—this conversation provides a clear look at where Bower Ag is headed and how they’re positioning themselves for the future.
