Agriculture in the Classroom Canada along with its ten provincial member organizations, has established a Board Advisory Committee to offer insight and expertise.
 
“We are so excited to welcome these agriculture education champions from a diverse cross section of Canadian agriculture,” said Johanne Ross, Executive Director of AITC-C. “We have been lucky to appoint seven highly knowledgeable professionals with a wealth of experience from the sector. We are excited to see how they will help guide our organization to greatness.”
 
The seven appointees were chosen by the AITC Board Nominations Committee and will serve a two-year term.
 
The following individuals have been appointed to the BAC: Agassou Jones (NS), Becky Parker (BC), Kelly Green (MB), Lindsey Verhaeghe (AB), Nadine Sisk (ON), Teresa Vallotton (MB) and Trish Jordan (MB).
 
As a volunteer group, the BAC will meet at least twice a year.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
