July 11, 2024
Diego B. Nobrega

The business of agriculture: Are you the CEO?

Farming demands both technical and financial skills; Canadian dairy producers excel in production but often lack financial knowledge, highlighting the need for better management training and adviser collaboration for success.
July 8, 2024
Chris Church

The average farm size in Canada is now 100 cows. Many companies of this size would have a team of executives to run the company – someone for finance, another for human resources and operations, and a chief executive officer (CEO) who oversees the whole operation.

July 1, 2024
Emma Ohirko

A friend of mine recently discovered Taylor Swift. I have a hard time wrapping my head around that. When she admitted this, it was tough to know if she was serious. How does a person discover Taylor Swift in 2024? I’m not sure, but for this friend, that was the truth.

July 1, 2024
Emily Krekelberg

Improve financial transparency with your farm family team

Openly discussing money in farm families is key for smooth transitions and financial literacy, through steps like leading conversations, understanding values, managing debt, analyzing spending, sharing stories and holding family meetings.
June 26, 2024
Elaine Froese

If the story you tell yourself suggests it’s nobody’s business how you spend your money, ask yourself how you got there and why it has to be like that. I hope you would agree with me that the emotional factors around money affect the farm transition process.

Embracing tradition and innovation at Sigview Farms

One Ontario dairy sees big improvements in cow comfort, odour control and somatic cell count after moving their Brown Swiss herd to a compost-bedded pack barn with a continual agitation manure system.
June 25, 2024
Emma Ohirko

The Signers manage a milking herd of about 60 cows, maxing out the space available to them in the farm’s previous tiestall facility. Thus, they set out to create a new facility that would not only incorporate newer technology into their routine, like a robotic milking system, but more importantly, would provide a greater level of comfort to the cows.

Is your herd safe? Cybersecurity essentials for dairy farms

Technology advancements make dairy farms targets of cyberattack, but risks can be mitigated by understanding what threats exist.
June 18, 2024
Emma Ohirko

“Most of these farmers do not have a technology or means to understand they have been attacked until the impact has become obvious. There are many cases that, when we are called to go for an investigation, we find that attackers have compromised the business years back, and producers are not aware of their existence in the network.”
