    IWCA series: Meghan Scott

    As a field marketer and sales coach at Hensall Co-op in Ailsa Craig, Ont., Meghan Scott has learned a lot about building relationships with growers, interns, summer students and co-workers. When it comes to cropping systems and making recommendations, there’s not always a perfect answer. That’s why relationships are so important. But it takes time to get to know people and to figure out the best means of communication. Meghan is still partial to meeting face-to-face and to a phone call over a text.    With years of experience in her role, Meghan has learned that mistakes do happen. It’s always better to acknowledge them honestly and to tackle challenges head-on.  In this episode, Meghan speaks with agriculture editor Kaitlin Berger about how much there is to learn when you work in agriculture - and the importance of pursuing educational resources and keeping up-to-date in the industry. She’s also discovered that agricultural seasons go in waves of busyness. It’s important to recognize the busy seasons won’t last forever, especially as she balances her work with her personal life.  Never miss an episode by subscribing to AgAnnex Talks on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

    IWCA series: Cathy Lennon

    There's no typical day in the life of Cathy Lennon. As the executive director of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, a "typical" day can be filled with different advocacy and lobbying activities, which can take place on a small family farm or in Queen's Park. This means she's had to hone her communication skills, her mental flexibility and agility, and her empathy. It's those qualities that have made her an Influential Women in Canadian Agriculture honouree for 2025. In this conversation with agriculture editor Bree Rody, Lennon shares her journey into agriculture and gives insights to the transferrable skills gained across her various positions, from an administrative role with a family law firm to communication and management roles with agricultural industry groups. She also discusses the influence of her own mentors, as well as the importance of female friends – professional and personal – and reflects on the influence she has on her own daughter.

    Special episode: Tariffs, agriculture, agri-food and more

    Blanket tariffs — like the proposed 25 per cent tariffs on all imports into the United States from Canada, set to come into place March 4 – affect every single industry. However, although the effects on almost all of Canada's industries are significant and negative, they're also all unique. Those who work in export commodities know that these complexities extend beyond consumer-level "buy Canadian" sentiment. In this special episode of AgAnnex Talks, we discuss the unique ways in which the agriculture, agri-food and growing sectors would be affected by the planned tariffs. They discuss the subsectors that would be most affected, how our current trade processes work at a granular level, what lesser-known factors have industry groups worried and how these tariffs fit into an already at-times fraught context when it comes to labour, infrastructure and more. Hosts Bree Rody (Manure Manager, Potatoes in Canada and Drainage Contractor editor) and Amy Kouniakis (Greenhouse Canada editor) also feature economic perspectives that touch on historic precedence of both tariff and non-tariff-related trade disruptions and what the industry learned from those times, innovation opportunities and just why the U.S. became such an important trade partner in the first place. Today's guests of AgAnnex Talks are Colin Hornby, GM of Keystone Ag Producers, Victoria Stamper, GM of United Potato Growers of Canada and Amanda Norris, senior economist with Farm Credit Canada
