Farmtario is making headlines of its own at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show 2025.
The bi-weekly publication for the farmers of Ontario has launched a one-of-a-kind markets desk that gives an Ontario perspective on agricultural markets that can be overwhelmed by coverage from the U.S.
Farmtario subscribers will also receive a bi-weekly Farmtario Markets Desk electronic newsletter. It will provide Ontario farmers with a nuanced take on grain, livestock and dairy markets that acknowledges their unique challenges, says Ranulf Glanville, Glacier FarmMedia director of business insights and information. He’ll be editing the newsletter from his base in London.

Ontario grain farmers continue to face financial risks due to high input costs and low commodity prices, Grain Farmers of Ontario Chair Jeff Harrison said at the organization’s annual meeting at the Craigowan Golf Club north of Woodstock Sept. 9.
“It will really focus our market content, providing curated market information in both print and digital,” he says.
Glanville will provide micro market insight commentary around issues like supply and demand. He’ll be joined by Bruce Burnett who will provide macro analysis of market trends, weather and crops expertise. Jerry Klassen will provide livestock market and crops insights, and Phil Franz-Warkentin will provide additional market coverage. There will also be guest market commentators such as John DePutter.
Farmtario is currently distributed in the province using Canada Post’s unaddressed farm mailbox list. That means delivery isn’t guaranteed for either Farmtario or AgDealer. A $30 subscription will ensure farmers receive both publications every time, plus the Farmtario Markets Desk newsletter. Non-subscribers will continue to receive the publication occasionally, but delivery is not guaranteed.
The first issue of the electronic Markets Desk newsletter will launch September 30. Look for it at www.farmtario.com
