NEWSLETTER PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
I would like to wish everyone a happy Canada Day and also a good start to summer. We had a different spring this year, it seemed to take a long time to arrive and then suddenly it was summer. So far this season the crops here in the south are doing well. The prices have been good and it’s been a good start to
the season. I attended our annual Fruit and Vegetable Growers of Canada meeting which was held in Prince Edward Island the first week in July. It’s good to be able to come together in person a couple times a year and it feels more productive than zoom meetings. Angie and I took advantage of being
on the East Coast and are in Quebec as I am writing this. We are touring the Gaspé Peninsula. As you can see in the picture we are in Percé checking out Percé Rock. Its been nice to experience a different part of Canada. The AGGA board is going to have our meet and greet on August 29th and 30th in Olds, at the College. We will have a tour on the 29th and members of the AGGA are welcome to join us. It’s always a good time to meet other growers and share ideas. I am going to refer you to Anna’s report for updates on some of the things that are of interest. I do not want to duplicate (Ha Ha) and she does a way better job then I would! Thanks again Anna. Have a great summer!
