How Outside Policies Affect Agriculture

There’s a lot of outside forces that impact agriculture, especially when it comes to politics. From decisions on carbon policies and changes to transportation regulations, to the politicians chosen to helm political portfolios for immigration, they can all influence what happens in the agriculture world.

On the Aug. 2 episode of Seed Speaks, we’re taking a closer look at how policies that aren’t specifically ag focused can affect those working in the agriculture industry. We’re joined by Michelle Klieger, president of Stratagerm Consulting and Phyllis MacCallum, program manager for AgriLMI and AgriDiversity for the Canadian Agriculture Human Resources Council.

Klieger runs Stratagerm Consulting, a food and agricultural consulting firm. She’s an agricultural economist with over 15 years of experience in the food and agriculture sector. As an economist and a business consultant, Klieger works with the global seed industry, ag tech companies, conventional and non-conventional agriculture firms, and philanthropic foundations. Klieger has a masters in agriculture economics from Purdue University and a master of business administration from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

Before trade and tariffs dominated the conversation, taxation was one of the biggest issues on farmers’ minds last year. From the carbon tax to capital gains, OFA worked with the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and provincial partners to push for fair, practical solutions. We saw progress on carbon tax relief and capital gains, and we continue to advocate for modernized farm tax programs at both the provincial and federal levels.

OFA works to represent the interests of Ontario farmers to all levels of government. Renew your Farm Business Registration (FBR) by March 1/26 and choose OFA so we can continue to support Ontario farmers and their businesses.
