farmnewsNOW launches free newsletter to help residents stay informed

The landscape of news delivery is changing in Canada, particularly when it comes to social media.

As you’ve likely noticed over the last several weeks, our news portal farmnewsNOW.com is no longer available on Facebook and Instagram.

It is in response to Bill C-18, or the Online News Act, that would have META (parent company of Facebook/Instagram) and other tech giants like Google pay a fee to post and share Canadian media stories on their platforms.

As a sign of opposition to the Act, META is hiding Canadian news outlets from social media feeds while Google is promising to follow suit – which could mean local news stories will not show up in your search results.

Syngenta Ag Stories - Robyn McKee, Government and Industry Relations Manager.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
