		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re excited to see the amount of farmers that are using social media outlets to tell their stories about farming. Here&#8217;s a great article from the July 12 edition of the Calgary Herald that features once such farmer. We&#8217;re now following her on Twitter and hope you will too! &#8211; OFAC

We like this article, published recently in the Guelph Mercury newspaper, that discusses this fact and a recent national funding announcement designed to take animal welfare even further in Canada &#8211; OFAC

November has been overcast, blustery, quite cool, and we have nearly two feet (60 cm. plus) of snow on the level in our neck of the woods. Good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[January 6, 2010 - Happy New Year to the readers of this blog. This article was printed in the Toronto Star over the holiday season and we think this columnist got the issue exactly right. Farm animals aren't pets and they definitely aren't 4-legged people. And, with only 1 in every 46 Canadians now actively farming, there is a huge disconnect between farmers and consumers. Enjoy the read - OFAC
