Meanwhile, even though we know that Ontario is losing 319 acres of farmland per day, here is how the Province is treating prime farmland in Wellington County (and everywhere else too). 🤔 #GrowFoodInOntario #OntAg @WellFedAg @OntarioFarms @wellingtncounty @CentrWellington
Province unilaterally extends urban boundaries in Wellington County. Over 1,000 acres of farmland subject to development with modifications to OPA 119. bit.ly/42LrU6S

The proposed new Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) will force municipalities to allow up to 3 new residential lots per farm parcel and 2 accessory residential unit’s on each of these new parcels. This is a radical shift in 50 years of planning for agricultural lands in Ontario.

Sharing your stupidly bad business decisions on TikTok and expecting someone else to be at fault/fix it seems to be an emerging theme in 2023.
Buys $5M of Real Estate, gets caught on the wrong side of interest rates. Now wants a bailout from the BoC and the property developer. Don’t be like this guy. xitter.cf/RE_MarketWatch/status/…

People's Choice Grand Champion of the Ottawa Valley Farm Show Photo Contest 2022 is ... "Justice Love" submitted by Brittany Barkley of Stormont County ... photo credit to Rhonda Barkley ... Congratulations! #LivestockLove #AgintheEast #OVFS
I’m a day late sharing this. If you haven’t already, strongly recommend reading “The Great Halifax Explosion“ by John Bacon. I don’t recall learning about it in school and it really is an incredibly sad part of Canadian history that needs to be remembered.
