Overview
I am a young farm man looking to continue to pursue agriculture. I have grown up on the farm my whole life but would like to continue to build my own farm business. Currently I am involved with small and large scale vegetable production (cucumbers, asparagus, peppers primarily), as well as cash crop (mostly corn, soybeans). I also have just started my own vegetable stand and started growing my own cash crop. I have completed my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree at the University of Guelph and have previously completed my diploma in agriculture at the University of Guelph Ridgetown Campus a couple years prior. I am looking for rental land that I could use to grow crops. I'm also looking for farming opportunities in my area; whether that be a retiring farmer looking for a successor, or someone willing to let a young farmer try to succeed. I'm looking for something in the St Thomas, Aylmer, Tillsonburg and surrounding areas. Thanks!
