Agriculture Day in Canada

Tomorrow is Agriculture Day in Canada. It is a day where we honour our agriculture community and thank the farmers and ranchers for all the hard work they do to make sure we all have food on our dinner plates.
Agriculture is a very important part of the Canadian economy.

1. Agriculture employs nationwide over 2 million people. 
2. Canada is the world's 5th largest exporter with over 50 billion in annual sales. 
3. Family matters, over 97 % of farmers are family owned and operated. 
4. Farmers contribute over 100 billion dollars to Canada's GDP each year. 
5. Farmers are stewards of the land and play a major roll in protecting and preserving our environment. 
6. Farmers and ranchers believe in responsible animal care that in turn will provide nutritious and healthy meat for the consumers. 
7. Farmers are innovators. Thanks to modern farming practices the average household saves more than 4,000 dollars on food annually, which amounts to 60 billion dollars across Canada. 
8. Canada agriculture product quality ranks number one in the world for food quality and food safety. 
9. A recent study revealed that Canadians trust our farmers and ranchers more than any other industry. 
10. Agriculture is not just a business, it's also a passion and a way of life and having pride in the work they do. 

I support our agriculture community and thank them every day for all the hard work they do. As a butcher I see for myself every day the hard work and struggles of farmers to ensure that we always will have food on our table. https://www.agriculturemorethanever.ca/
