​Guelph, ON [November 22, 2016]

​Ontario Federation of Agriculture’s (OFA) newest president, Keith Currie, was elected at the organization’s annual general meeting in Toronto this week. A Collingwood-area hay and sweet corn farmer, Currie becomes the 31st president to lead the 36,000 farm member organization for a one-year term.
 
Elections for OFA’s two vice president positions voted in Mark Reusser, a Waterloo County turkey farmer and re-elected northern Ontario dairy farmer Peggy Brekveld. Drew Spoelstra, a dairy and cash crop farmer in Hamilton-Wentworth was elected by the board as its fourth executive member. New to the OFA board of directors is Crispin Colvin, a Middlesex County crop and beef farmer who was elected for a three-year term as a director-at-large and Steve Brackenridge, who joins the board after winning the Zone 10 election. OFA’s Board of Directors is made up of 18 positions representing regions across Ontario.
 
“I’m energized about OFA and looking forward to the coming year, and the work we can do together for the OFA membership,” says OFA President Keith Currie. “This year’s annual meeting provided another great venue to address and discuss the issues and opportunities facing our industry with members, political leaders and industry partners.”
 
“Precision Matters” was the theme for this year’s OFA event that drew more than 300 grassroots members together to discuss industry innovations, issues affecting farm businesses, politics and policies impacting Ontario farms, and the future of the organization.
 
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is the largest general farm organization in Ontario, representing 36,000 farm families across the province. As a dynamic farmer-led organization based in Guelph, the OFA works to represent and champion the interests of Ontario farmers through government relations, farm policy recommendations, research, lobby efforts, community representation, media relations and more. OFA is the leading advocate for Ontario’s farmers and is Ontario’s voice of the farmer.
