Manitoba Crop Alliance is looking for farmers to take an active role

Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) is looking to fill a number of vacancies on its four crop committees.

Nominations are now being accepted for delegates to fill four open positions on each of the corn, flax, and sunflower committees, as well as five open positions on the wheat and barley committees.

CEO Pam de Rocquigny says they take great pride in the collaborative, farmer-driven nature of our organization.

“By becoming a delegate, farmer members get to help determine how their check-off dollars are invested. I encourage farmer members who are interested in guiding the direction of our industry to get involved and add their unique knowledge and perspectives to our committees.”

Delegates will focus on strengthening the mandate of research, agronomy, market development and access, and communication and advocacy initiatives.

Nomination forms and more information on the nomination and electoral process can be found here or by email to hello@mbcropalliance.ca or phone at 204-745-6661.

Nominations close October 1, 2024 at 4:30 pm.

OFA and Farmers' Markets Ontario have long shared similar goals and this year have partnered on a project to support local food producers. With $50,000 in cost-share funding from OFA, the two organizations supported marketing that promotes local Ontario farmers like Alex from Thames River Melons at farmers’ markets across the province. These initiatives help to promote local food, enhance consumer access, and build direct connections with farmers.
