The biggest change that I see is the rising cost of production, which has become big business compared to when my dad started. On the flip side, a lot of things haven't changed. My dad worked off the farm for 26 years to pay for it. Now I've been working off the farm for the last 10 years to try to pay for it again. I think it shouldn't be that way. It should be a career where you can go in, work hard, know whatever scale you need to be at, and be comfortable that there's going to be a return at the end of the day.
Agriculture produces food. What is more important than food? We can live without other things, but we can't live without food. So we need to come back and put some value on this product. And it's not just Canada,;it's worldwide.
