Episode 43

Year in Review pt. 2

Early this year I recruited 14 farming professionals from around BC to send me updates all year, with the hopes of turning it to some sort of Farming in BC Yearbook. Here, you'll here part one of a multi-episode series to close out the year.

This time, you'll hear a summary of the 2025 farming season as a series of messages sent to me by project participants.

You can contribute your own farm summary, or a good 2025 farming anecdote, by visiting farminginbc.ca/submit

Mentioned in this episode:

Submit Your One Idea for Government Spending on the Ag Sector

On May 27 I’m planning to release an episode about Canada’s Next Policy Framework for Agriculture, which will greatly influence how the ag sectors of BC and Canada get funded. For that episode, I would really love to hear from some of you. What’s your one big insight or idea about how our governments should invest in agriculture that they’re either not currently doing or doing wrong? I’m interested in both your grand ideas but also just little tweaks to funding that you think would improve our sector. To share your idea, you can send me a voice recording, or invite me to interview you for 5 minutes. Either way, visit farminginbc.ca/submit to quickly and easily get hold of me.
