Who are Certified Crop Advisors?
Several hundred men and women across Ontario serve farmers as crop advisors, providing information and expertise on crop production, crop protection and natural resource management. This group of commercial, public and independent advisors play an important role in modern agriculture. Crop advisors provide advice and counsel producers in their decision making process.
This responsibility requires a good understanding of science, food safety, technology, economics and the environment. Crop advisors combine knowledge in these disciplines with their local experience to render sound recommendations.
Saturday, June 12th, 2022, Patrick Lynch, a long time Ontario Certified Crop Advisor was inducted into the Ontario Agricultural Hall of Fame. With a career spanning almost 50 years, Pat is quite deserving of this achievement. Congratulations Pat!
