The Canadian Federation of Agriculture is asking federal and
provincial governments to provide more help for young farmers.
The federation asked for support such as “access to
affordable land, risk-tolerant financing, training support and extension
services.”
The CFA made its pitch during a roundtable discussion that’s
part of this year’s annual gathering of federal, provincial and territorial
agriculture ministers at Halifax.
This is so like the Canadian Federation of Agriculture which believes that for every challenge, there should be a government subsidy.
Sure, start them out with subsidies so they'll be skilled in collecting them all their lives.
And just exactly why do we need more farmers? Of the ones we have, 80 per cent are struggling to produce a mere 20 per cent of Canada's annual production.
