Grain Farmers of Ontario is targeting federal election candidates and Canadian voters with a new campaign to raise awareness of the issues facing grain and oilseed farmers in Ontario from global trade disruptions. Ontario‘s agriculture commodities have been hit directly by trade restrictions and all grain and oilseed farmers, including soybean farmers, have had to endure the economic ripple effects of trade wars between other nations. The details of the issue facing grain and oilseed farmers in Ontario and Grain Farmers of Ontario‘s election ad can be found at grainfarmers.ca.
Grain Farmers of Ontario is now accepting applications for the 2020 Grains Innovation Fund. The Grains Innovation Fund supports the development of novel new uses for Ontario grains and encourages innovation from Ontario companies.
Applications for the Grains Innovation Fund must be submitted by November 1, 2019. More information about the fund and the application process is available at gfo.ca on the market development page.
