What does the future of farming look like in Canada?

According to a new report, 40 per cent of farm operators in Canada will retire over the next decade, resulting in a major industry labour shortage. What the future of farming in Canada look like and how do we address it? Alex Karpa reports.

How can you expect young Canadian to get into farming with the cost of land, equipment, fertilizer, building material, and quota. Not to mention our government that keeps coming up with new restrictions and regulations to slow progress and making the future of most industries unsure. Most youth in canada can't afford a house anymore. We make less and less here in canada. The only thing that creates revenue is over inflating our assets to the point that we can't afford our own country. Young Canadian are discouraged to even try anymore

Bring in more immigrants!

[@musikmaan]

Canadians can’t afford to start or keep farming, but 30,000 immigrants will be able to do it?

[@aahZeiK]

It’s just immigration propaganda we don’t need any immigrants

[@worldsstongeststrains983]

I’m a botanist and my advice s avoid farm life. With the cost of fertilizer, land taxes and high turnover employment rate, agriculture is dead in this country. My company had 130k in sales. After supplies, operational costs and taxes my take home was 23k. What reason do I have to work 60 hours a week to make less than a worker at Tim Hortons?

What do you expect from a generation that wants to cancel everything and is too sensitive and doesn't like to work hard... 90% of the time they got their phones to their nose... That's the bright future we have

[@Euer_Hochwuergen]

if they are your descendants I only expect said generation to be idiots

[@merwan45]

What you say is true in a very unfortunate reality. Goodness in a new generation 😢

[@damnationdan5253]

You are massively out of touch with the current generation, sounds like you're regurgitating what the man on the TV tells you

[@BudzzableRides]

The fertilizer restrictions are going to be devastating to our agriculture industry! One only needs to look at what it’s done to Sri Lanka and their economy. Farmers are not seeding because they can’t make a profit, so they have to import food at triple the cost.

I would like to study Agriculture and own a farm....but it seems that the agenda is making it difficult for the younger generation to get in....i wouldnt want to get in now, and have the govt later go, were transitioning to vertical farms

[@FloraJames-nw8mk]

There are others good means of earning profit from agriculture. I have achieved a lot, that's about $35,000 from the company and why I love it the most is because they are different from stock market...

I am young and I will love to come to Canada and prepare to replace them. I will love to be a farmer .

Don't farmers like, pass the farm down to their children? Farmers have always retired, since the dawn of man.

[@teddyruxspin8480]

yes they do the farmers kids by me are building two new houses right now and will be taking over the farm

When we separate from Trudeau it’ll be fabulous. The anti Canadian leader is the only problem we have in the nation.

[@j.j.8723]

I think the new generation is weak sensitive and want to cancel things and don't want to work hard I think that's a big problem for people that are older like myself for the future... I agree that Trudeau has to go 👏

Farms are becoming corporate run. The days of the small farmers is disappearing. Farming will still be around, but you might have to pay more.

Farming in Canada will look like N.K. Farming.

[@mikew3783]

People are speaking of the cost of land, equipment, fertilizer etc. and how young Canadians won’t be able to afford it or are not motivated enough to do hard work. Totally disagree. Seems like stereotyping to me. Our Canadian Government would rather up immigration, probably give new farmers to Canada who also can’t afford it, grants and leave our youth in the wind…..all for votes, cheap migrant labour. Have our young people been given the incentives and a chance?

[@CountryturboDiesel]

This is clearly directed to my comment. If you don't mind me asking do you have any experience in the agricultural industry?

[@mikew3783]

@@CountryturboDiesel HI, I agree with your comments actually. Apologies for how I came across. I would hope that our Government steps up and offers incentives to our youth to keep agriculture going. I'm not sure immigration is the answer, especially if incentives are offered in that capacity. More emphasis needs to be generated within. I have only been around farming through family and childhood. I sometimes wish I had been part of the industry.

[@ProtonOne11]

Yeah, and immigration is not going to help. As an immigrant, you have almost zero chance to get any bank loans abroad without the local credit history. And most people that would be interested to move to canada and start farming don't have enough cash to even buy a medium sized farm with all the machines required to work the land.

ALTHOUGH FARMING IS NECESSARY BUT HAVING STEADY INCOME IS MORE CRUCIAL FOR YOUR RETIREMENT PLANNING. Big ups to everyone working effortlessly trying to earn a living while building wealth. I'm 40 and my wife 34. We are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Saving and investing lifestyle made it possible for us this early even till now we earn monthly through passive income.

It’s not as bad as it seems a lot of the older farmers retiring already have the next generation working on the farm to take it over, also with equipment getting bigger there’s more than enough farmers around now. We don’t need any more immigrants unless it’s white European’s
