Agriculture committee  There's no doubt that some of the programs are a bit confusing, and I think there should almost be a marketing push to show that there are programs out there for young farmers. A lot of farmers I talked to in gathering information for this meeting aren't aware of the programs. Th

Agriculture committee  I can start on the advance payments program. Initially, when we were discussing how it could be improved, even for new entrants maybe for the first five years, raising the limit to $150,000, say, rather than the $100,000 currently.... A hundred thousand dollars doesn't go a long

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the committee for inviting us to be with you today. Nothing is more important to young farmers across Canada today than BRM programs. There are increasingly higher risks to grow crops and raise livestock. Be it weather, markets or politics, t

Agriculture committee  Absolutely. Any way we can educate people on mental health and release the stigma I think would be a great option.

Agriculture committee  I think a lot of agricultural organizations are stressed in their own way to find producers to sit on them who have time to do it, especially young farmers. As I said before, for young families starting operations, it's very hard to accommodate some of these other organizations,

Agriculture committee  I don't think it's been addressed by our young farmers, but if we can educate people to understand that people use drugs and alcohol because of what they're feeling or the lack of feeling.... They're looking for something to feel something, so it's more of an understanding that t

Agriculture committee  It does lead back to education. Maybe there could be more programs to visit farms, more opportunities for people to visit farms. A lot of young farmers are actually doing just that. Do you want a vacation? You can go to the farm. You take your family to the farm on the weekend an

Agriculture committee  Yes, 4-H is a wonderful organization that is doing quite a lot now to spread the word and to encourage young people who are in agriculture to join 4-H groups and learn more about agriculture.

Agriculture committee  I think the mental health challenges agriculture is facing right now...when they speak about mental health first aid, that is such a huge issue. The first time I heard about mental health first aid, I thought, wow, that is the perfect thing that everyone needs. I don't understand

Agriculture committee  The struggle with agriculture is that we're affected globally, and it's very hard to compete with some of these other countries, because they have a very low cost of production. I find it amazing that we can compete at all in Canada, quite honestly. Young farmers are very innova

Agriculture committee  The biggest thing we found coming from these small groups dealt with creating a safe place for young farmers to come together and to speak and realize that we're all facing very similar issues and are not alone. I've reached out across the country to friends in B.C. and said,

Agriculture committee  The biggest thing we need is education starting from a young age. We seem to have missed generations of young people who have been off the farm. Many families now are three or four generations off the farm. The disconnect from what farming and agriculture is presently in our day

Agriculture committee  Definitely. Internet is a big issue in rural areas, especially anything high-speed. It's something that's needed tremendously. It's the same with three-phase power, natural gas or all these cost-cutting items that agriculture needs to stay competitive in the global market.
