Each week I get a dozen calls asking why ag needs migrant labour when so many students and Ontarians are out of work. We need both. Essential workplaces including farming, food processing & critical links in between are looking for local help. Below, you can learn more.

McLean Berry Farm and C & J Ginseng Farms are hiring.

We need the expertise, reliability & availability of our skilled essential foreign ag workers. (And that's not a new story, it's been that way for decades.) We also need and want more Ontarians and Canadians to choose ag & food as a short term or permanent career path.

Please spread the word. We need both.
