Grain farming plays a critical role in ensuring Canadians always have access to high-quality grains. The grains grown in Ontario — barley, corn, oats, soybeans and wheat — are the staple ingredients of our daily diets: bread, pasta, flour, baby food, meat, oatmeal, cereal, and soy.
When our farmers can grow their grains with certainty, those supply chains are secure. But when the price of inputs goes up, when fertilizer and seed cost more or can’t be sourced with any certainty — farmers can’t compete.
To keep grain farming affordable, we need the government to provide certainty for farmers. Whether that’s ensuring a reliable, tariff-free supply of the inputs they need to grow their grains or ensuring they can confidently plant the crops without about whether they can make ends meet.
Ensure that both the export of Ontario grains and the import of the critical inputs needed to grow remain free of tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers.
If trade barriers do end up impacting grain farmers, Ontario farmers should be provided with funding equivalent to what the U.S. provides to protect their farmers from the impact.
Return any tariff money collected directly back to the Ontario grain farmers who pay it + direct stimulus funding to protect domestic processing and create new markets.
Let them know that Ontario's farmers need certainty to keep our grain production affordable and our supply chains secure.
