TREVOR DELICHTE

Diploma in Agriculture

Trent Delichte - 2025 gradWhy did you pick your program?

I decided to enrol into my Diploma in Agriculture at the U of M because I felt like it was a very practical program. As I plan to return to the farm eventually, the skills, connections, and knowledge I would gain would be beneficially tailored towards my future tasks in running the farm.

Favorite memory?

My favourite memory from the program was getting to present my final project. Seeing all my hard work come to fruition and getting to share it with others was a great feeling.

If you could talk to yourself before you started your program, what advice would you give?

I would tell myself to take each day one step at a time. While two years seems like a long time, it really goes by quickly. Cherish each day, no matter whether it’s good or bad.

With more than $1 billion in farmgate sales and over $650 million in annual exports—much of it centred in the Niagara region—Ontario growers are a major force in Canada’s floriculture industry. In fact, the province produces roughly 50% of all flowers grown in the country, serving a market of over 100 million consumers within a one-day drive.

It’s a powerful example of how strategic location, cross-border access, and strong production capacity come together to support both local agriculture and global markets ??

?? Watch as Andrew Morse, Executive Director of Flowers Canada, shares insights and the full story behind Ontario’s tulip industry and its thriving flower sector.
