New census data showing a shift west, Canadian cabinet ministers in Washington, new USDA supply/demand numbers, the NFU’s stance on neonics, spring flood risk in Saskatchewan & more  — Shaun and Kelvin break down the latest news to start today’s show.

From there, we discuss how to keep the conversation going between generations in a farm succession process with farm family business coach Elaine Froese, and the impact Ontario’s new cap-and-trade program is having on greenhouse operations with Jan VanderHout, vegetable grower and chair of the Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association.
