GGO Newsletter Newsletter - Volume 1 - January/February 2011 ...Dedicated to the Success of Ontario’s Grape Growers 2011 Grapes for Processing Pricing Agreement The Grape Growers of Ontario (GGO), Wine Council of Ontario (WCO) and Winery & Grower Alliance of Ontario (WGAO) have agreed to extend the 2010 pricing arrangement into 2011, which includes the Plateau Pricing model for four grape varieties - Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The changes for the 2011 Pricing Plan are outlined as follows: 2011 Pricing Plan The parties have agreed to a 1% increase over 2010V prices for all white varieties (Vinifera and Hybrid). The red varieties (Vinifera and Hybrid) remain stable at the current 2010V pricing. Pilot Plateau Pricing Model for 4 Varieties for 2011 It was agreed by all parties to continue the Plateau Pricing model on four varieties for 2011: Chardonnay, Ries- ling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is important to note that any grapes purchased for Plateau Pricing in 2011 are not subject to tonnage restrictions and all processors participating in the program will need to work with their growers to ensure this parameter is applied. 2011 Grape Growers of Ontario Inside this issue: 2011 Pricing Agreement 1 Annual General Meeting Focus on the Grower 2 Wednesday April 6, 2011 at 7:00 pm Annual General Meeting 3 Savvy Farmer 4 Club Roma—125 Vansickle Road, St. Catharines CleanFARMS™ 5 IMPORTANT: Voter Registration from 6:00—6:45 pm In Memoriam 6 See page 3 for additional information Upcoming Events 7 Industry News/Classified 8 GGO Services Grape Pricing & Promotion Government Lobbying Nutrient Management Grape Research Government Policies & Regulations Crop Insurance Requirements Grape Inspection Farm Labour Legislation & Program Business Risk Management (CAIS & SDRM) Government & Industry Relations Chemical Registration Weather INnovations Incorporated (WIN) P.O.

In 1991, she was the first female Grape King in recognition of the vineyard she and David had grown. Although she’s stepped back from these bodies because she realized that “sometimes you can make more of an impact outside,” she’ll be bringing a busload of delegates from the International Greenbelt Conference in Toronto down to Niagara in March to show them this special part of the province. “Change takes forever, but I have- n’t given up on the industry.” Donna Lailey at the 2010 Grape King Installation The vineyard the Laileys created on their 23 acres across from McFarland House on the Niagara Parkway in Niagara-on-the-Lake started with some French hybrids her father-in-law had planted on the old fruit farm and has grown to include a winery in 2000 that principally produces Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Riesling. Along the way, Lailey Vineyards has won various international awards for their wines including a Silver Medal (2008 Chardonnay, Brickyard Vineyards) and three Bronze Medals (2008 Chardonnay, Old Vines; 2008 Pinot Noir, Canadian Oak; 2008 Syrah) at the InterVin International Wine Awards in November 2010. But Donna is the first to acknowledge there were some growing pains along the way. Their first year on the farm “was a disaster,” she says. In 1971-72, she took a wine course and realized that if they were going to have an industry here, they had to get involved. Their first year operating as a vineyard, they planted Chardonnay and Pinot but they all died. Today they have some of the oldest Chardonnay and Pinot in Niagara. She believes Chardonnay will likely be the flagship grape for Ontario. They’ve learned a lot, primarily through trial and error, continuous reading and travels to other countries. “I learn so much when I travel to New Zealand, Australia. Farmers have to do that—travel,” she says. One of the things she was surprised to hear during her travels was that we’re lucky to have so much acid in our wines. The things we see as a problem are viewed as positives in other countries, she says. There are still some challenges to face in the industry, she admits. “I hope we start to think of our industry in a positive way.” But she fears grape growers are going to be paid to take out their grapes and plant French hy- brids. “There’s no future for the industry with French hybrids,” she states. “We have potential here, but if we take out vinifera and plant French hybrids, that’s the wrong way to go.” At Lailey Vineyards, they educate consumers on the particular character and flavour of each wine and how the wine pairs well with food. Donna says she’d like to see money put into educating consumers on these things. “The more we do that, the more success we’ll have,” she says. People want wines with lower alcohol and something to enhance the flavours of the food they’re eating, she adds. Breaking down the province trade bar- riers would also be a great thing for the industry, she says. “It’s easier to sell across the border than in your own country. That’s ridiculous.” Whatever the challenge, she says, “You just can’t give up on these issues.” Grape Growers of Ontario Volume 1 - January/February 2011 Page 3 2011 GGO Annual General Meeting 2011 Grape Growers of Ontario Annual General Meeting Wednesday April 6, 2011 at 7:00 pm Club Roma—125 Vansickle Road, St. Catharines IMPORTANT: Voter Registration from 6:00—6:45 pm In November 2009, the Farm Products Marketing Commission approved a new structure to be implemented for the 2010 Grape Growers of Ontario elections based on the GGO’s priority of examining its governance structure every five years to ensure that all grape growers and all grape-growing regions across the province are appropriately represented. At the 2010 Annual General Meeting a full slate of Grower Committee members were elected resulting in a full slate of Board Directors. The new structure included three-year staggered terms to allow Board Directors the time to learn their roles and the workings of the Board. At the 2011 Annual General Meeting, the follow- ing Grower Committee positions are open for election with Directors to be elected at the first Grower Com- mittee meeting following the AGM: District Open Grower Committee Positions Open Board of Directors Positions 1—Niagara on the Lake 5 1 2—St. Catharines 2 0 3—Lincoln 5 1 4—Grimsby 1 0 5—Southwestern Ontario 0 0 6—Prince Edward County 1 1 TOTAL OPEN POSITIONS 14 3 Current Grower Committee members: District 1—Trevor Falk (1-yr remaining of Board term); Matthias Oppenlaender and Kevin Watson (2-yrs remaining of Board term); Don Forrer; David Lambert; Steve Pohorly; Albrecht Seeger; Erwin Wiens District 2—Bill Schenk (2-yrs remaining of Board term); George Wiley; Terry Yungblut District 3—Bill George Jr. (2-yrs remaining of Board term); Glen Koop; Jim Morrison; Martin Schuele; Roger Vail; Tom Wiley District 4—Steve Fernick (1-yr remaining of Board term); Harold Ferrier District 5—Bill Jansenberger (1-yr remaining of Board term) District 6—Debra Marshall Grape Growers of Ontario P.O.

When it comes to saving money on the farm, innovation is key. An innovative, web-based technology has recently been launched to help farmers save money in an area where significant costs are incurred every year. Developed specifically for farmers, Savvy Farmer is an unbiased web-based information warehouse created to help farmers save money on pest control. Its database includes every registered treatment for every agricultural crop grown in Canada (over 3 million treatments in total). Each treatment is individually priced and includes important application hints, which will save growers time and money. The creators of Savvy Farmer have a deep understanding the pesticide industry and want to use that knowledge to help farmers save money and make better pest control decisions. New federal legislation makes it easier and less costly to register generic pest control products. As a result, many new companies are entering the Canadian market and have registered literally hundreds of generic alter- natives. The major chemical companies are responding by offering very lucrative bundles and rebates, lower cost co-packs, and some have even started reducing the prices on their own brand-name products. Savvy Farmer was designed to help farmers benefit from these changing times in the industry. Savvy Farmer can help growers identify the most cost-effective treatment options, find money-saving generic alternatives, maximize rebates from grower programs, and choose the most cost-efficient rates.

  • Ontario's Local Food Report
    Ontario’s Local Food Report 2015/16 Edition Table of Contents Message from the Minister 4 2015/16 in Review 5 Funding Summary 5 Achievements 5 Why Local Food Matters 6 What We Want to Achieve 7 Increasing Awareness 9 Initiatives & Achievements 9 The Results 11 Success Stories 13 Increasing Access 15 Initiatives & Achievements 15 The Results 17 Success Stories 19 Increasing Supply and Sales 21 Initiatives & Achievements 21 The Results 25 Success Stories 27 The Future of Local Food 30 Message from the Minister Ontario is an agri-food powerhouse. Our farmers harvest an impressive abundance from our fields and farms, our orchards and our vineyards. And our numerous processors — whether they be bakers, butchers, or brewers — transform that bounty across the value chain into the highest-quality products for consumers. Together, they generate more than $35 billion in GDP and provide more than 781,000 jobs. That is why supporting the agri-food industry is a crucial component of the Ontario government’s four-part plan for building our province up. Ontario’s agri-food industry is the cornerstone of our province’s success, and the government recognizes not only its tremendous contributions today, but its potential for growth and success in the future. The 2013 Local Food Act takes that support further, providing the foundation for our Local Food Strategy to help increase demand for Ontario food here at home, create new jobs and enhance the economic contributions of the agri-food industry. Ontario’s Local Food Strategy outlines three main objectives: to enhance awareness of local food, to increase access to local food and to boost the supply of food produced in Ontario.
