Happy Canadian Ag Day “outstanding in our field” #AGDAY

While in Ottawa this week, I met with the Dairy Farmers of Ontario to discuss some of the key issues being faced by this sector. It was also great to hear more about the important contributions the Canadian dairy sector makes to Ontario's economy and rural communities. Thank you for a great meeting! @SenateCA

Making hay while the sun shines makes a perfect glass of nutritious Canadian milk! Cheers to World Milk Day 2025! @worldmilkday @OntarioDairy

@OntarioFarms @OntarioDairy @drew_spoelstra Great visit to @drew_spoelstra farm. One example of the continued commitment to animal care and comfort and investment in sustaining a local, dynamic dairy sector for Ontario families. Every day, Ontario dairy farm families are producing high-quality milk.

We appreciated the presence of @OntarioDairy with Chair Mark Hamel making an appearance at OFA President @drew_spoelstra’s open house & discussing the new technology and future applications for more efficient dairy yields in Ontario.

Popped into Little Brown Cow in Brantford, great to see the line up for fresh, local milk at the self filling station.  #ontariodairy #qualitymilk #ontag

Team FFCO made a new friend today in the form of Carlton, the Toronto Maple Leaf mascot. Happy to be helping @OntarioDairy celebrate its 60th anniversary this week. Appreciative of DFO’s support of our organization’s work.

@RobFlackEML @OntarioDairy @fordnation @OntarioDairy appreciate your continued support for supply management and partnership with dairy producers as we work to increase dairy processing capabilities.

Last night, @OntarioDairy celebrated their 60th anniversary of protecting and building up a strong Ontario dairy industry. My message to them was that Premier @fordnation & I will fight for their best interests & will protect Ontario's $51B agri-food industry! #ONpoli #OntAg

It was an honour & inspiring to have the opportunity to attend a conversation between the Right Honourable @stephenharper and the Right Honourable Jean Chretien, hosted by Tom Mulcair. It was also awesome to run into Alex from #Walkerton & Mark from #Elmwood at the event as well!

@maplevue Be careful Doug. One year saw a starling land on silo wall and actually fell over dead in a couple minutes.

Finished third cut last nite and covered the bunk ,never seen silo gas roll off the bunk next morning
