REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN-- Optimism among Canadian agriculture producers and agribusiness owners is at an all-time high, according to the fifth annual Farm Credit Canada (FCC) national Vision panel survey. A full 80% say that their farm or business will be better off in five years - a shift from 76% in 2010. Further evidence of this optimistic attitude is demonstrated in additional survey findings which show:
that more Canadian producers report being better off today than they
were five years ago - 77% compared to 67% in 2010;
that 58% of producers plan to expand or diversify their operations
within the next five years; and
that seven in ten producers would encourage a friend or relative to
pursue a career in primary production.
