Manitoba Crop Alliance announces crop committee delegate results

Nov 02, 2022

Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) is pleased to announce the results of the nomination process for delegate positions on its four crop committees. The nomination period ran from Sept. 1 to Oct. 30, 2022.

In total, 17 farmer members were nominated for the 17 available delegate positions across the four crop committees and are thereby elected by acclamation. Among those 17 delegates, seven are new to their respective committees and 10 are incumbents.

“As a farmer-driven organization, MCA relies on crop committee delegates to direct our crop-specific activities in research and market development – as well as our Whole Farm Research and Research on the Farm programs – and determine how check-off dollars are best invested,” says MCA CEO Pam de Rocquigny.

“I would like to commend everyone who put their name forward for taking on the responsibility of representing their peers and helping to guide the direction of our industry.”

Corn: Doug Martin (East Selkirk), Jonothan Hodson (Lenore), Richard Dureault (Fannystelle) and Warren McCutcheon (Carman) were nominated for the four available crop committee delegate positions. They will join Carl Bangert (Beausejour), Hubert Preun (St. Andrews) and Emile Morin (Otterburne) to form MCA’s corn committee.

Flax: Darcy Unger (Stonewall), Eric Fridfinnson (Arborg), Leigh Smith (Oak Lake) and Nick Matheson (Stonewall) were nominated for the four available crop committee delegate positions. They will join Dean Buchanan (Crystal City), Lance Bierens (Winnipeg), Jack Hodgson (Roland) and Lorne Johnson (Arborg) to form MCA’s flax committee.

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!
