The Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) is Canada’s largest voluntary general farm organization, representing more than 36,000 family farm businesses across Ontario. These farmbusinesses form the backbone of our robust food system and rural communities with the potential to drive the Ontario economy forward.
The Ontario Federation of Agriculture welcomes this proposal to allow farmers and licensed trappers to use relaxing cable restraints to reduce livestock losses due to coyote predation. The
costs to livestock producers from predation are both a financial burden, as well as compromising long-term efforts to improve one’s herd or flock through selective breeding.
