Bridging the Gap seeks to help bridge the gap between generations of farmers to provide Canada’s farming future with the best chance for success. The Bridging the Gap Workshop welcomes farm families to work with Farm Management Canada and our presenting partners MNP, AFSC, Alberta Canola, Dentons and Ritchie Bros to help make meaningful progress in their farm transition journey. This workshop is uniquely designed to engage multiple generations working together on the family farm in meaningful discussions to better understand each others' concerns and considerations for the future of the farm.

AAFC speakers: Drs. Andrew McKenzie-Gopsill, Rishi Burlakoti, and Héctor Cárcamo

Cleanfarms operates the Unwanted Pesticides and Old Livestock/Equine Medications (UPLM) collection program across the country, rotating through each province on a 3-year cycle. This free program allows farmers to bring expired or unwanted crop inputs and animal health medications that they don’t need to collection events to be safely disposed of, ensuring these materials stay out of the environment. While this program has been servicing farmers for 27 years, every year new farmers are finding out about it for the first time.

During this Farm Management Canada Agriwebinar, industry experts will talk about the economic impact of tariffs on Canadian agriculture and provide practical strategies to help farmers adapt and thrive. Join us for an insightful discussion on navigating market volatility, mitigating risks, and finding new opportunities in a rapidly changing global landscape.

The webinar will also provide an overview of the 2025 Keep it Clean Product Advisory, covering the product and crop combinations that may cause market risks for cereals and pulses. The presentation will wrap up with a discussion covering the importance of best practices for pesticide application throughout the growing season.
