Jeremy Matuszewski is a member of the organizing committee.

"The whole vision behind the tour was, we wanted to find a way to connect with farmers. When COVID shut the world down, we wanted to find a way to connect with them and really to support them, say thank you to them for what they were doing and what they continue to do...We really wanted to try to support the agricultural communities across Canada.," he said. "We hope people come out. Obviously we appreciate those that work hard to feed the world and we just want to say thank you."

Video: Secure Pork Supply Plan | Prepare to Protect Your Herd | U.S. Pork Producers

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
