Rainfall maps for May, June and July

During the summer months, we know that farmers across Ontario are watching the weather, especially for rain. Just the right amount of rain at the right time is never guaranteed, and too little or too much rain can be harmful to farm businesses.

Not only does weather affect crop yields, but it could also affect market supply and demand. That's why over 20,000 farm businesses are enrolled in AgriStability, Ontario's Risk Management Program and Production Insurance, with over 5 million acres covered under Production Insurance plans.

Agricorp is here to help. Farmers who have concerns about their program coverage should contact Agricorp to make sure they have the information they need to make decisions that are best for their farm – because every situation is unique.

To see how much rain has fallen across the province compared to normal, see the May, June and July rainfall maps below or check out the monthly rainfall data.

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.
