Rebuild, restore, reinvest ... secure the future of agriculture A united coalition of 37 Ontario farm groups, "The Famers of Ontario," are calling on the provincial government to rebuild and restore the agricultural budget to its deserved stature. The best way to do this is for the government to reinvest in the industry and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA). As farmers, we arc continually reinvesting in our business. We are now calling on the government to do the same in the agriculture industry. We need every farmer to get in touch with their local MPP and express your concerns. Let them know that we urge the government of London Farm Show draw winners Perth County Federation of Agriculture participated in the Member Draw at the OFA booth at the London Farm show.
