The decision to close the farms "is a direct slap to the Canadian farmer and the Canadian economy," said the Union of Solicitor General Employees (USGE) national president John Edmunds. Rockwood's farm started in 1962. It includes a feedlot, composting setup, grain farming, and a dairy operation with more than 60 cows. Food from the farm is used at federal prisons. The composting program handles a trailer-full of organic waste daily from Canada Safeway alone. Most of the composted matter gets spread on the fields, where inmates grow grain to feed the cattle. The program costs $4 million a year to run and "wasn't meeting the employment realities that offenders were facing in today's labour market," she said. "Once they were released into the community, very few were actually finding jobs...

Changes in farm work on Norwegian family farms have, since the 1950s, undergone a masculinisation process. Research has described how farming has become a business controlled by and executed by men, a process that has created 'the farmer' as a masculine label of occupation. This paper analyses data from surveys of farming couples in 1995 and 2002. The main objective in the paper is to test whether changes in men and women's farm work can be described as a transition towards a one-person farm structure in Norway. The main hypothesis put forward is that men and women tend to specialise in either on-farm or off-farm work, and that their allocation of work time depends upon their educational training in agriculture, their interests in farm work, and the capacity of the farm to provide work ...

Citing 2006 statistics, this report shows that even the largest farms draw nearly half of their net farm income from government payments. Sales by farms with annual revenues of more than $250,000 averaged $795,000, of which $695,000 was comprised of farm sales and $52,000 from program payments. However, once expenses were deducted, these farms' net cash income was $110,000, nearly 50 per cent of which came from the government. Yet [Greg Mason] argues for elimination of supply management for dairy and poultry, which tailors supply to the domestic market. His rationale is that Canada's competitors don't like it, and farmers working within that system are making too much money. Mason suggests Canada should draw examples from agricultural deregulation in Australia and New Zealand. That's al...
