UPPER CANADA GROWERS HAS PERMANENT HOME

The purchase of the Mori Essex assets is now complete with the official home farm in Harrow, Ontario. As the main base for Hopetown Plant Labs, this location is better suited to expand tissue culture plant production through an in-house laboratory.
 
As the largest nursery in Canada, Upper Canada Growers will continue to provide a secure source of fruit trees to Canadian farmers.
 
Improvements to the farm will include a new cold storage facility to store the trees for the winter. The facility will be built on the farm in Harrow, Ontario where the shipping will originate in 2020.

Video: Secure Pork Supply Plan | Prepare to Protect Your Herd | U.S. Pork Producers

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
