"Province to province, there are rules in terms of who can own farmland in this country. But the question is, are people getting around those rules in ways that they shouldn't be? This is something you are concerned about and so are some of your grower organisations."
"In the past couple of years, every meeting that we have with our members, the conversation inevitably comes around to stories of foreign ownership of farmland or corporate ownership of farmland and the concerns about who's owning this land, who's buying this land, who's funding the purchases of this land."
"I've had more phone calls from members of the Real Agriculture audience in the last week than I see across any other issue. Let's get real and get connected on RealAg Radio."
There is increasing concern among agricultural communities in Canada regarding foreign and corporate ownership of farmland. Many growers are questioning the integrity of land ownership rules and whether they are being circumvented. Recent discussions have highlighted numerous inquiries from members about who is purchasing farmland and the sources of funding for these acquisitions. The issue has gained significant attention, prompting a deeper investigation into the validity of these concerns and the implications for local farmers and the agricultural landscape.
