I was following my father, trying to keep up. With each step my foot sank into the snow up to my knee. The snow wasn’t really that deep, but it was for an eight-year-old boy.

Throughout life, we all have wished that we could have a do-over. We have done many things we wish we could go back and change. If I could have a do-over, I would join the St. Lawrence County Dairy Promotion sooner than I did. I would have joined four years ago instead of in 2015.

Canada and agriculture have a complex and illustrious history dating back copious amounts of years. The aforementioned complexity stems from the very fabric of Canada, to define agriculture is to elaborate on each and every province held within our boundary lines. The prairie provinces, Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, are historically very important and were at one time agriculturally based and predominantly rural. What was once a staple that defined Canada now seems to be shifting and uncertainty is erupting from the shattered remains of the crumbling industry, no longer is agriculture the only main industry in Canada but the interest in the overall commodity seems to be getting lost with time. Fewer people are seeking entry into the business and now the majority of the population resides in major cities and towns, with population on the rise this pattern only continues to grow more dangerous as the years pass and the trend continues.
