Farmers: “if we aren’t at the table, we are on the menu!” A few thoughts about Nuffield, 10 years later and the recent Triennial meeting held in Ireland clairdoan.com/
#Nuffield2026 triennial conference. Green pastures and Irish farm tours, research and extension presentations. Refreshing meeting new entrant dairy farmers getting in the industry.

Plan to attend the Southwestern Ontario Dairy Symposium in Woodstock. Vincent is a dynamic speaker with a global perspective, working as our Senior Director of Strategy and Agricultural Economist from @nationalbank.
Our education system is failing! 5 split 7/8 classes at Emily Stowe PS isn’t efficient or effective. Students must be the priority. Smaller classes. Supported teachers. Real change. Read, share, advocate;@fordnation @PaulCalandra @pboniferro @TVDSB clairdoan.com/2025/06/03/acc…

Agriculture Day in Canada is a time to celebrate the best of what we grow, produce and transform into nutritious food. But today is a reminder that we need to articulate our strengths address our challenges and navigate a future full of uncertainty. #CdnAgDay
Time well spend invested in engaging future dairy leaders about the business of milking cows. With economic uncertainty, understanding cost of production has never been more important. Thank you @4HOntario for supporting Dairy Sen$se!
Excellent turnout for 4H Dairy sen$e 2025! @clairdoan giving an economic overview to the group. Dairy profit up next. @4HOntario
Grateful to those who sacrificed for our freedom today. Lest we forget! Yet let’s not take our liberty for granted. Blessed to have visited these war memorials in France, Turkey and the Netherlands.

Ontario is *the top* turkey-producing province in Canada! Fun fact.
Now only if we can get our politicians talking turkey too! And promoting the year round versatility! #EatMoreTurkey #turkey365
Minnesota is *the top* turkey-producing state in the nation. Fun fact.
And you can eat it year round. Here’s one of my family’s recipes:

#TurkeyTuesday Day 2 of our attempt at a whole room brood with these Tom’s (sort of), eliminated the use of rings, but left a cardboard wall to ensure they didn’t travel too far from the heat, food and water.
First time in 14 years, that I was stumped by a question when talking about turkey farming. The 5 yr old asked: How many feathers on a turkey? Thanks @EmilyStowePS for inviting me to talk @OntarioTurkey & building strong communities! BTW Google says it’s 5000 feathers!
It’s great to support an industry & farmers that also support @nationalbank. Fresh milk, friendly smiles and catching up on the latest @DairyXPO in Stratford. It’s fun to have the team together this week!

Wrapping up a few days in BC & the Fraser Valley with @nationalbank as we expand our agriculture banking services to be coast to coast. Great conversations about the opportunities & challenges of the region. Even managed some family time touring cousin Matt’s new dairy barn.

Live price paid to farmer April 2022: $2.32/kg, live price paid December 2022: $2.50/kg. The profit differential is not in the farmers pockets, given the rise in feed, fuel, labour, interest rates and all costs in general.
Turkey prices skyrocketing: Picture below was taken on April 30, 2022, at Sobeys (Halifax), $4.84/kg.
Price today is $8.80/kg. (voila.ca/products/698404KG/d…)
Schools are closed! Why not take your kids to @RoyalWinterFair to learn about agriculture and food this week. Education outside the classroom and off a computer device is highly underrated. #rawf100
Thames Valley students will continue with independent/remote learning activities on Monday, November 7th and until further notice. Schools will not be open to students, and transportation will not be running. Visit our website for more information: tvdsb.ca/en/our-board/cupe-u…
