The Pork Producer Rally at Queen's Park had a tremendous turnout of over 2,000 pork producers and industry supporters. The Rally was positive, to the point, and effective at getting the message out to media and politicians:
1) this financial crisis is seriousThanks to all the pork producers who served as County Captains, media spokespeople, and bus organizers. We would also like to thank all the supporters who were there other than pork producers: such as other farmers, feed companies, Federations of Agriculture (County and Provincial), Christian Farmers, vets, truckers, and equipment dealers.
2) the pork industry contributes significantly to our provincial economy
3) we need a whole farm income relief program SOON
It isn't in a farmer's nature to 'Rally' at Queen's Park, so thanks for helping us make a point, especially one that seems to have been well-taken.
