This is the inaugural post for the Farmers Feed Cities! blog. A little bit about us...

The Farmers Feed Cities! campaign is an initiative of Ontario Grains & Oilseeds -- a coalition that collectively represents more than 25,000 farm families who grow corn, soybeans, wheat, seed corn, canola, white and coloured beans.

Member organizations are actively involved in research & development, communications, and the marketing of our products. Often our crops become foods you find in your grocery store, like canned or dried beans, soyfoods, wheat flours, and canola oil. A portion of the corn and soybeans produced in Ontario are processed into food additives like sweeteners, or crushed to feed farm animals like cows, pigs, and chickens.

More to come...
