OFA celebrates Ag Week
By Brent Royce, Director
Ontario Federation of Agriculture
Agriculture is Ontario's most
important industry. We produce
food, employ Ontarians, support
local businesses and drive our
provincial economy.
Since 1998, the week before
Thanksgiving has been recognized
as Ontario Agriculture Week. The
week of Oct. 3-9 marks this year's
celebration. It's a time to recognize
and enjoy the array of local food
grown in Ontario, and agriculture's
contribution to our province and
economy. And what a great time to
give a nod to the people who work
every day producing the food,
raising awareness of the industry,
and shaping the policies and
regulations that govern agriculture.
The Ontario Federation of
Agriculture (OFA) will be
celebrating in the halls of Queen's
Park, meeting with MPPs, political
staff and policy advisors to remind
them agriculture is Ontario's most
important industry and a potent
economic engine. Agriculture
contributes $13.7 billion to the
Ontario economy every year.
Ontario has the most diverse agri-
food production, producing more
than 200 different commodities for
markets right here and worldwide.
The OFA will also be talking to
MPPs about growth. Ontario's
agricultural industry is growing and
new technology, research and
innovations are creating
opportunities. Many of these
opportunities rely on the right
policies, like investing in rural
infrastructure. Rural Ontario farms
and businesses need infrastructure
equivalent to urban centres —
including roads, bridges, broadband
and competitive energy. An
investment in the expansion of
natural gas infrastructure is the best
investment Ontario's government
can make in lowering the cost of
doing business on farms and across
rural Ontario. The cost savings
would be invested back into our
communities, growing businesses
and creating jobs.
Let's be sure to take the time to
celebrate Ontario Agriculture Week
and continue advocating for the
