This special publication is specifically aimed at Norfolk County’s farming and agri-business sector and attempts to shine a light on the farmers, innovators and entrepreneurs who drive this important economic engine. A cooperative venture of the Norfolk Federation of Agriculture, the University of Guelph’s Simcoe Research Station and Norfolk County’s Economic Development and Tourism Department, this edition focuses on value-added ventures across the county. The growing of crops is no longer the only pursuit of farmers. Agricultural production is being enhanced and augmented by a wide variety of on- farm products, sales and marketing initiatives. Adding value to crops by developing processing, packaging and sales of other related products has become a major source of new revenue for farmers and entrepreneurs. Norfolk Farms has been embraced by the farming community as well as businesses which support the local agriculture sector. More than 3,500 copies are being distributed throughout the county. a joint effort Our next edition will be published in October and we earnestly encourage any comments or suggestions for upcoming articles.

Purpose of the tour is to illustrate and educate farm leaders across the province on the interesting, unique and innovative aspects of agriculture in these tri-counties. Bob Vogelzang, president of the Norfolk Snippets Federation of Agriculture, said the tour will have seven stops, including a ginseng operation, a tobacco farm, a dairy goat farm, an equipment dealer and an on-farm value-added business, as well as a visit to of NFA the University of Guelph’s Simcoe Research Station. “We may even take them to a (medical Bob Vogelzang marijuana) grow-op,” he said. President NFA History: There are more than 20,000 farmers who belong to the OFA whose directors and executive advise the government on issues impacting agriculture and land use across the province. Farming was traditionally largely a solitary pursuit. The farmer was dedicated to all the aspects of growing a crop, from cultivation of fields, planting, harvesting and marketing. BE READY. However, the importance of an agrarian economy translated into a political force as BE READY. farmers began to organize. BE READY. Current issues in the political forefront include food safety, regulative red tape, hydro costs and an impending carbon tax. Vogelzang said the agriculture sector, while seldom in the forefront, is economically important to the province. He pointed out that 120,000 jobs are attributed to agriculture. Labour is a “critical” component of the sector and costs and regulations have to be kept in line in order to compete on global markets. ... the tour will have seven stops, including a ginseng operation, a tobacco farm, a dairy goat farm, an equipment dealer and an on-farm value-added business, as well as a visit to the University of Guelph’s You need a tractor that fits the way you farm.
