Fertilizer Canada is Pleased to See an End to the West Coast Ports Strike

Jul 25, 2023

Fertilizer Canada is pleased to see the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) have come to a tentative agreement to end the strike at the West Coast ports. We appreciate the work from the federal government and Minister O’Regan to end the strike and get goods flowing through the West Coast.

The strike underscores the importance of strengthening Canada’s supply chains to prevent disruption to trade and protect Canada’s reputation as a reliable and stable trading partner. The federal government must expeditiously implement supply chain initiatives, including the recommendations from the Final Report of the National Supply Chain Task Force and accelerate opening the Transportation Supply Chain Office announced in the 2023 budget.

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!
