Yesterday on February 12, 2019, Canadian gardeners and farmers rejoiced to celebrate Agriculture Day. Without the hard working men and women farmers in Canada (over 2 million, I might add), we would not be able to enjoy nearly as many crops.
To celebrate one of the largest ag producers in the world, we want to outline some Canada agriculture statistics according to the Government of Canada:
Agriculture's meaty contributions. There are 10.1 million beef cattle (including bulls, beef cows, heifers, steers and calves) in Canada. In addition, roughly 26 million pigs are raised in Canada each year, making us the world's third-largest exporter of pork products, after the European Union and the United States.
Canola - now the oil of choice for millions around the world - was developed by Canadian scientists and planted by Canadian farmers. In 2016, Canada contributed 67% to global canola exports.
It's never too late to celebrate! Spread the word about the importance of agriculture; where food comes from; and the daily job of a farmer in Canada.
