REFLECTIONS FROM AMC’S BOARD CHAIR
As we move through 2025, Canada’s agricultural manufacturing sector stands at a pivotal crossroads of opportunity and transformation. Global trade continues to shape our industry’s landscape, presenting both new prospects and complex challenges. Navigating the evolving realities of tariffs and cross-border commerce—particularly with our closest trading partner, the United States –remains a top priority. Through it all, AMC is your unwavering advocate, working to ensure that Canadian manufacturers have a fair, competitive, and reliable environment in which to grow and thrive.
In an increasingly global marketplace, AMC’s International Business Program continues to break new ground. Our upcoming debut at Agritechnica 2025 in Hanover, Germany, through the AMC Pavilion, will spotlight Canadian excellence on the world stage. It’s more than a tradeshow presence—it’s a strategic investment in building international relationships, showcasing our capabilities, and expanding the reach of Canadian innovation to global buyers and partners.
That same spirit of connection and progress was alive and well at our 2024 AMC Expo and Trade Show this past November in Etobicoke, Ontario. Hosted at Humber Polytechnic’s Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation, this event brought together our industry’s best and brightest—manufacturers, educators, students, and thought leaders. From forward-thinking sessions on AI and data security to our annual Hackathon and networking at E-Zone, the Expo was a reminder of what’s possible when collaboration and curiosity lead the way. Looking ahead, I encourage you to join us for GRIT: AMC’s Annual Convention, happening June 4–5, 2025, in Edmonton, Alberta. GRIT is more than a gathering—it’s a call to action. It reflects the tenacity and courage that fuel our sector and challenges us to keep pushing boundaries, sharing knowledge, and supporting one another through change.
Developing a skilled and engaged workforce is just as essential to our long-term success as trade policy or global markets. That’s why I’m proud of the momentum behind Careers in Ag. With the launch of our Mobile Skills Lab, we’ve reached hundreds of students across Canada, giving them firsthand exposure to the technologies, tools, and career opportunities that define modern agricultural manufacturing. It’s an investment in the next generation, and one that will pay dividends for years to come.
I want to thank each of you for your contributions, leadership, and commitment to excellence. The road ahead is filled with potential—and together, through trade, talent, and tenacity—we’ll continue to grow Canada’s position as a global leader in agricultural manufacturing.
Bob Cochran Chair | Board of Directors | Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada
MESSAGE FROM AMC’S PRESIDENT
The agricultural manufacturing sector continues to demonstrate resilience, innovation, and a growing global footprint—and trade remains at the heart of that story. At the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada (AMC), we know that building strong, reliable trade relationships is essential to the success of our members and the long-term strength of the Canadian agricultural manufacturing industry. Whether it’s across provinces or across oceans, AMC is committed to advancing policies and partnerships that open doors and drive sustainable growth.
Our advocacy efforts are focused on reinforcing these opportunities, ensuring that Canadian manufacturers have a voice at the table when it comes to trade policy, cross-border logistics, and international market access. With shifting global dynamics and increasing demand for sustainable ag technology, AMC continues to work closely with government and industry leaders to reduce trade barriers and expand the reach of Canadian innovation.
We saw firsthand the power of connection and innovation at our 2024 AMC Expo and Trade Show, held in November at the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation in Etobicoke, Ontario. The event brought together manufacturers, students, and industry experts for two days of learning, showcasing, and networking. From our Hackathon to handson tours and in-depth sessions on automation, AI, and data security, the Expo offered a glimpse into the future of our industry—one where collaboration and education are key.
That momentum continues as we look ahead to GRIT: AMC’s Annual Convention, taking place June 4–5, 2025, in Edmonton, Alberta. GRIT is more than a name—it’s a reflection of the determination, creativity, and strength that define our members. This year’s convention will offer powerful keynotes, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, all centered around the shared goal of building a stronger, more connected ag manufacturing sector in Canada and beyond. We invite all members to join us in Edmonton for what promises to be an inspiring and impactful event.
At the core of our vision for the future is the Careers in Ag initiative. Through partnerships with leading postsecondary institutions and our innovative Mobile Skills Lab, AMC is helping shape the next generation of industry professionals. By providing students with access to real-world experience and exposure to the latest technologies, we’re ensuring that the future of agricultural manufacturing is in capable hands.
Our industry is driven by people—by your ideas, your innovations, and your commitment to excellence. Thank you for being part of this journey. As we continue to expand our global reach, invest in talent, and grow our network, we are proud to stand with you in advancing Canadian agriculture and manufacturing on the world stage.
Let’s move forward—together.

Investing in the Future:
DLL Financial Services Joins Forces with Careers in Ag
Growing up in Quebec City, Nicolas Foisy had no connection to agriculture. It was playing junior hockey in Russell, Manitoba where Foisy met his wife, a second-generation farmer and started what he calls his “farm journey”. He was introduced to her family’s organic grain and cattle operation and the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, still based in Russell, Foisy is a strong champion of promoting careers in agriculture and is a Program Manager within DLL’s Agriculture sector. DLL, a global asset finance provider for equipment and technology, is the newest sponsor of the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada’s (AMC) Careers in Ag initiative.
“Just like it did for me, agriculture offers something for everyone,” says Foisy, who began his career in agriculture as a commercial lender and has worked with DLL for the last 10 years. “This partnership presents an exciting opportunity for both organizations to combine their expertise and resources to promote and support careers in the agricultural industry.”
AMC’s Careers in Ag initiative is designed to connect talented individuals with rewarding careers in agriculture, offering extensive resources, training programs, and job placement services to support the growth and development of agricultural professionals.
Partnering to promote Careers in Agriculture
“As a key supporter of Careers in Ag, DLL is committed to attracting the best talent to the agricultural sector,” says AMC President, Donna Boyd. “Initiatives like this not only align with our values but also showcase the diverse and rewarding career paths available within the industry.”
While DLL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rabobank, has participated in agriculture and career fairs on its own, this is the company’s first partnership to promote the importance of careers in agriculture. Foisy says collaborating with AMC is a great opportunity to bring together finance and industry expertise in a way that directly benefits young professionals.

“DLL brings a deep understanding of agricultural financing and equipment lifecycle management, while AMC brings the pulse of the manufacturing and technology side of the industry,” he says. “Through our partnership with Careers in Ag, we aim to support the development of future agricultural leaders who understand both the economic and environmental responsibilities of modern farming.”

DLL aims to empower future generations, drive sustainable practices, and build a more inclusive and future-ready agriculture industry.
“By investing in education and career development today, we’re planting the seeds for a more sustainable and innovative industry tomorrow,” says Foisy.

With new technologies like precision farming, an increase in agri-tech start-ups and a growing demand for sustainable supply chains, Foisy says agriculture is shifting rapidly and the convergence of technology, sustainability, and global food security creates a dynamic and exciting environment for new talent.
Growing for the future
“Agriculture is a field where people can truly make a difference – solving real-world problems while working with cutting-edge innovations,” says Foisy. “For young people, agriculture offers both purpose and opportunity in a way few other sectors can match.”
Foisy says the Careers in Ag initiative’s Mobile Skills Lab, which features virtual reality technology and educational tools to engage with schools, career fairs, trade shows, and communities across Saskatchewan, is a brilliant way to bring learning directly to communities with a hands-on, immersive experience.

Reaching the FUTURE Workforce
UNIVERSITY OF SASKATCHEWAN CAREERS DAY
As a platinum sponsor, Careers in Ag made an impact at the University of Saskatchewan Careers Day last fall. During this event, students who visited the Mobile Skills Lab explored experiential learning technology such as our virtual reality CNC shop experience, 3D scanning technology, CLAAS combine, and welding simulators.
The combined trade show and interactive exhibit experiences gave students the ability to learn directly about future job possibilities from prospective employers. AMC member companies who showcased were able to provide guidance to students on career opportunities and how to be successful in their careers after graduation.
Careers in Ag proudly sponsored this year’s 25th Annual Grain Challenge in mid-March 2025, an agricultural charity hockey tournament benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This event brought together the agricultural community to raise funds for a worthy cause, with teams from many of our AMC members participating in 2025. The Grain Challenge exemplifies the generosity and competitive spirit of the ag industry. Throughout this weekend of tradition, we shared the message of Careers in Ag and our support for this vital community.
During the Great Plains College Open House, students were able to try their hand at the welding simulator and experience advanced ag harvesting technology with the CLAAS combine simulator. It was an opportunity for our team and potential employers to engage with students and help them explore the exciting world of agriculture and ag technology while discovering skills needed for a successful career in the industry.

CANADA’S FARM SHOW
Careers in Ag’s Mobile Skills Lab was at Canada’s Farm Show in Regina this spring. With more than 350 students from Ag in the Classroom Saskatchewan and 70 students from SaskPoly, we informed a whole generation of young people about the variety of careers that exist within agriculture. Their excitement and engagement were palpable as they went through the experiential learning stations and then to the photo booth to snap some selfies. This event was the perfect place for motivated students eager to explore potential career paths, network with industry professionals, and build valuable connections.
SASKATCHEWAN’S 20TH ANNUAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
AMC joined Academic Partners, the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan Polytechnic and Great Plains College at Saskatchewan’s 20th Annual Workforce Development Conference: Contact 20, a program of the Saskatoon Industry Education Council (SIEC). Our Careers in Ag initiative was featured in the exhibitors’ showcase as a catalyst to encourage educators to promote youth to consider agriculture and manufacturing as a first-choice career. This collaborative event, which united individuals from education, workforce, and economic development, provided an incredible opportunity to be front and centre in the ongoing discussions on the latest labour market trends. Donna Boyd, AMC President, spoke as a panellist for the “Bridging Eras: Insights from Industry Leaders” session and represented the voice of the ag equipment manufacturing sector. Speaking from the industry perspective, she highlighted the importance of ensuring that the bright minds of the next generation continue to be attracted to the industry.

Watch Brenna’s full story.
Changing the Game in Canadian Agriculture!
Brenna Carlstad is breaking barriers in the world of agriculture. Growing up in Bear Canyon, Alberta, she never expected to end up in ag, but fast forward a few years, and she’s making history as the first female hired in a field position for CLAAS. As a Careers in Ag ambassador, Brenna is passionate about sharing her story and inspiring others to explore the diverse opportunities in the agricultural industry.
How I got my foot in the door was just by talking to people, making connections, and learning about the industry.
Her journey into agriculture wasn’t exactly a straight line. When Brenna left home for Olds College, she planned to carve out a different career path, but it didn’t take long for her to realize that ag was where she truly belonged. Brenna soon realized that agribusiness is more complex, exciting, and essential than she once thought.
With her outgoing personality and natural talent for building connections, Brenna jumped into the ag industry headfirst. Networking opened doors, and she discovered a passion for helping others and improving the future of farming. As Brenna says, “I naturally am a very outgoing person, and I love talking to people. So, that’s kind of how I got my foot in the door was just by talking to people, making connections, and learning about the industry.”
Now, Brenna travels across Canada with CLAAS, attending events, meeting customers, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. Her mission? To make farming easier, faster, and more productive. And her energy? Contagious.
Brenna’s advice for students thinking about a career in ag is simple. Be proactive – opportunities won’t come to you. Don’t be afraid to go after them! Ask questions – the more you learn, the further you’ll go. Build your network – this industry is full of amazing people who want to help you succeed.
Her story is proof that there’s no single path into agriculture. It’s an exciting, innovative industry with room for everyone. Brenna’s journey shows that sometimes the best career is the one you didn’t see coming.

Winter Innovation:
AMC Expo and Trade Show 2024 Brings Industry Together in Etobicoke
For the first time, the AMC Expo and Trade Show made a seasonal shift, moving from spring to a late fall gathering on November 6–7, 2024. Held in Etobicoke, Ontario, this year’s event brought together members, students, and industry leaders to explore the evolving future of agricultural manufacturing. With a strong focus on innovation, education, and collaboration, the two-day event showcased how rapidly advancing technology, robotics, and AI are shaping the industry – and how post-secondary institutions are rising to meet that challenge.
This year’s Expo took place at the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation at Humber Polytechnic –an AMC Academic Partner. The state-of-the-art facility provided a fitting backdrop for a program that celebrated learning, future-forward thinking, and hands-on engagement. From technical sessions to student competitions, tours, and networking events, attendees were immersed in the possibilities of what lies ahead.
A Hub of Innovation and Insight
The Expo kicked off with sessions on data and digital transformation. Danielle L. Graff, Partner at MLT Aikins LLP, closed out AMC’s Momentum Meeting series with a presentation on data navigation and security—an increasingly urgent topic in today’s connected world. Scott Cedarquist, Director of Standards and Technical Activities at ASABE, followed with a deep dive into the importance of data-driven standards in building a sustainable future for ag manufacturing.
The theme of innovation carried through into discussions about automation and industry transformation. Dr. Roseann O’Reilly Runte, author and Past President and CEO of the Canada Foundation for Innovation, brought big-picture thinking to the table, while Dr. Nancy Nelson, FEC, P.Eng., shared practical insights on the implementation of automation in educational and industrial settings.
Dr. Dave Smiderle, Associate Dean at Humber Polytechnic, offered both a presentation on harnessing automation and a guided tour of the Barrett Centre,
giving attendees a behind-the-scenes look at how the next generation of talent is being equipped to lead in a high-tech world.
The event concluded with a powerful keynote address from Matthew Johnson, Vice-President of Volatus Aerospace, who spoke on the growing role of spray drones in agriculture. His presentation underscored how aerial technologies are not just futuristic concepts—they’re quickly becoming essential tools in modern farming.
AMC Hackathon: Real-World Challenges, Next-Gen Solutions
A standout component of the Expo was AMC’s 3rd Annual Hackathon, where student teams from Humber Polytechnic, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic were challenged to solve a real industry issue within just 27 hours. Working both in-person and virtually, the teams developed innovative solutions and pitched their ideas live to attendees, who served as judges. The top three teams were recognized and awarded through AMC’s Future Forward Scholarship program, affirming the value of fresh ideas and student innovation in shaping the future of the sector.
Networking, Community, and a Little Competition
While learning and innovation took centre stage, community and connection were never far behind. The trade show floor buzzed with conversation as members showcased their products and services. On Wednesday evening, the focus shifted to fun at E-Zone, where attendees enjoyed whirly ball, laser tag,
arcade games, and plenty of laughs over refreshments and appetizers. The night proved that the competitive spirit is alive and well—not just in the field or factory, but on the court and in the arcade too.
Looking Ahead
As we look to the future, AMC is excited to continue the momentum. Mark your calendars for FORGE: AMC’s Annual Expo and Trade Show, returning October 21–22, 2025, at the Holiday Inn & Suites in St. Catharines, Ontario. With innovation, leadership, and resilience at its core, next year’s event promises to once again bring the industry together in bold and meaningful ways.
A highlight of Expo was an exclusive tour of Janco Steel Ltd., offering attendees a rare inside look at their operations and innovative manufacturing.

Challenges and Opportunities in a Volatile Market:
Preparing for the Impact of Tariffs
Navigating today’s constantly changing trade environment is a challenge for manufacturers across the country.
Since talk of U.S. imposed tariffs began, MNP LLP, which works with farmers and small and medium-sized businesses across Canada, has been helping clients take stock of how their operations may be impacted and develop a plan to move forward in the face of economic uncertainty.
Founded in Brandon, Manitoba in 1958, MNP provides management consulting services in more than 150 communities from coast to coast.
“While MNP’s role as a trusted business advisor is always to step up for our clients and work as part of their team, that has kicked into high gear with the ongoing trade uncertainty,” says Steve Kwasny, Senior Manager, Advisory Services at MNP LLP. “Our clients are looking to us for clarity in a world where things aren’t clear.”
A new trade era
Knowing what to do is a challenge when Canadian businesses really haven’t had to operate in a trade environment with tariffs in decades.
“There isn’t a lot of muscle memory for moving through a high-tariff environment,” notes Calgary-based Kwasny, who is leading MNP’s tariff response across Canada. “People can get overwhelmed by the lingo –tariffs are a new vocabulary for a lot of people.”
That’s where business advisors like MNP can be a valuable partner to help sift through the information to determine what your risk might be and what you can do to plan. The first step is understanding your business.
“To oversimplify – what do you buy, what do you sell and what goes into those things?” says Kwasny, who emphasizes the importance of diving into your financials and using actual data to understand what’s being affected.
Identify potential scenarios
Analyzing sales volume, pricing, direct and indirect costs, capital expenditures and cash flow can provide valuable insights for financial modeling.
Scenario planning is a powerful tool that businesses can use to evaluate potential risks and map out a path forward. Considering different scenarios provides a framework to guide strategic and operational decisions - especially in uncertain environments.
“It’s really critical to drive these discussions with data to inform decision making rather than try to rely on the news cycle,” Kwasny says.
“It’s easy to get lost in the noise.”
MNP has developed a proprietary online tool to help give their clients a better understanding of their potential risk exposure to tariffs. The Trade Impact Navigator uses a short, nine question assessment to identify a client’s business risk level and provides insights on what they can do to remain resilient with actionable next steps.
Steve Kwasny, Senior Manager, Advisory Services at MNP LLP
Challenges bring opportunities
While there is a lot of uncertainty, there is also opportunity. With everything going on south of the border, U.S. businesses are looking to come to Canada, which means potential new customers and suppliers. Canadian businesses should also look beyond borders to grow east-west instead of north-south.
“If the rest of the world is looking outside of the U.S., there is a chance for Canadian businesses to step up,” Kwasny says, noting that “every crisis breeds opportunity”.
With things changing so quickly and so much information to digest, he says collaboration is critical to navigating the current trade environment. It’s important to have a strong team in place to navigate the challenges, which can include lawyers, accountants, lenders, bankers, customs brokers and business advisors like MNP.
“No one asked for this – we need to try to navigate it together,” says Kwasny. “That’s our firm’s culture and the same thing we try to instill in our clients.”

Trade Tides
Navigating Legal Strategies in Turbulent Times
The agricultural industry is facing unprecedented challenges, from shifting trade regulations and looming tariffs to evolving legal landscapes and supply chain disruptions. How can a business prepare for the future when the emerging trade “war” between the U.S. and Canada is changing at such a rapid pace?
Scott Masson, Partner at MLT Aikins LLP, says it’s critical to understand the contracts you have in place and ensure that any future contracts incorporate tariff-related protection to help mitigate risk.
“There is an immense level of uncertainty that suppliers and manufacturers are faced with that’s likely to be with us for quite some time,” says Masson, who traded Vancouver for law school in Saskatoon and has called Saskatchewan home ever since. “You need to be absolutely crystal clear in terms of what your contracts say.”
Understanding the fine print
A contract governs how AMC members are buying and selling products and determines which, if any, impact tariffs will have on their business. MLT Aikins LLP, a proudly western Canadian law firm with offices from Vancouver to Winnipeg, helps clients understand the risk profile that exists with the contracts they have and what can be done or changed.
When you’re looking at clauses that impact the allocation of tariff risk in your contract, Masson says the first place to start is the incoterms, a set of rules that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers in international trade. While many contracts expressly state that the buyer is responsible for any increased costs associated with tariffs, that’s not always the case.
“There’s a lot of debate about whether or not the change of tariff is actually a change of law,” Masson explains. “The recommendation is to be absolutely clear about who is responsible for that increase in tariff risk.”
Force majeure is another contract clause getting a lot of press lately. While case law generally doesn’t suggest that increased costs by themselves can trigger a force majeure, Masson says it all depends on the individual language in the contract.
There’s a lot of debate about whether or not the change of tariff is actually a change of law, The recommendation is to be absolutely clear about who is responsible for that increase in tariff risk.
“Everything needs to be looked at more carefully now in light of trade uncertainty and tariff implications,” he says, which includes reviewing contract templates that may have been developed long ago. “We encourage people to look at those documents and make sure they still make sense in this environment.”
Pictured: Scott Masson, Partner, MLT Aikins LLP
As for future contracts, Masson says it’s important to understand which party you want to manage the risk and what the potential risk is associated with tariffs. Then you need to develop a strategy in terms of how that risk is going to be mitigated.
A team approach
To navigate all these challenges, Masson suggests a collaborative approach where vendors and suppliers work together to understand what the tariff risk is and how the parties can work together to reduce the impacts.
It takes a whole team approach, and it’s important to make sure that there is an integrated strategy from both a business and a financial perspective.
“What we’re seeing now is how strong relationships are within the supply community,” says Masson. “This is something that is hitting everyone.”
MLT Aikins LLP helps clients buying and manufacturing or selling major equipment and advises them on all aspects of purchase and sales agreements. Part of that is working with the client’s management team, including financial advisors and customs brokers, to fully understand their business and the potential risks they face.
“It takes a whole team approach,” Masson says. “And it’s important to make sure that there is an integrated strategy from both a business and a financial perspective.”
The key to navigating the high level of uncertainty in the market is being able to adapt. As the old adage says, he stresses that the only constant seems to be change.
The value of membership
For MLT Aikins LLP, the value of being a member of the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada (AMC) is the exposure to other service providers and insights into trends and broader industry concerns.
“One of the huge benefits of being a member is being able to talk to a wide cross section of industry,” says Masson. “By seeing the bigger
picture, we can help our clients better and hopefully we all get smarter as a result.”

Trade Uncertainty and Tariffs
Understanding the New Realities
Trade uncertainty and tariffs are impacting Canadian businesses like never before as manufacturers are having to suddenly deal with a new reality.
Even when tariffs were in place back in the 1980’s, they were not as prohibitive or as varied as they are today, says Alan Dewar, Executive Vice President at GHY International, a leading trade and brokerage services provider that offers acclaimed support and guidance to North American companies that trade internationally.
What is a tariff? A tariff is a tax or duty that is imposed by a government on imported or exported goods.
“A tariff is supposed to protect domestic industries, it’s supposed to generate revenue, and it can be used in retaliation or trade negotiations,” says Dewar, who notes that until recently most things entering Canada have been duty-free. “We’re in an entirely unchartered territory right now.”
Increasing costs and rapid change
The new tariff regime is changing things rapidly and companies are incurring costs that they’ve never seen before.
“There is just a lot of uncertainty right now,” says Dewar, who oversees business development and regulatory affairs for the Winnipeg-based firm, which was established in 1901. “The whole cost of cross-border trade is escalating, and things are changing all the time.”
In April, Dewar was at a conference in Phoenix. One of the keynote speakers was talking to brokers about trade and market uncertainty when U.S.-imposed tariffs on China increased. Even though he had fresh material when he started speaking, he had to change content midway through.
“We’re having to adapt to things on the fly – that’s the world we’re living in right now,” says Dewar.
It is important to work with a trade advisor who can explain the changing landscape and what it means for your business. That can be a customs broker, management consultant or a lawyer, but it’s critical that it be someone knowledgeable about the import process. While companies have often worked with brokers on a transactional basis, now every sale needs to be looked at through a regulatory and legal lens first.
There is just a lot of uncertainty right now, the whole cost of cross-border trade is escalating, and things are changing all the time.
Determining importer of record
Because tariffs are largely a new challenge, there are a lot of misconceptions from importers. The most important piece is understanding who the importer of record is. That’s the party that bears the responsibility for declaring goods to customs. If you’re exporting something, Dewar strongly recommends that you shouldn’t be the importer of record as the liability lasts a long time, even after the product has been sold.
How your goods are classified is another important factor to determine if tariffs apply to your product and, if so, at what rate.
Alan Dewar, Executive Vice-President, GHY International
“It’s really important to step back and look at how your goods should be classified,” says Dewar. “Tariffs are as much of an art as a science sometimes.”
Keep up to date on new developments GHY has introduced a new, interactive tariff tracker on its website to keep people informed with real-time updates on the latest trade developments. The tracker lists the tariffs that have been imposed, the effective date and the amounts.
“This is changing by the day,” he says, noting that this trade uncertainty isn’t expected to change anytime soon and likely not for the duration of the current U.S. administration.
To navigate this period of volatility, Dewar says collaboration is critical. He says it’s important to be part of groups like the Agricultural Manufacturers of Canada (AMC), which can provide important connections and networking to hear about new opportunities and markets.
“Groups like AMC have a voice politically and that voice can position you for lobbying or different types of relief,” says Dewar. “You need to have a united voice and strengthen relationships so you can work together in these uncertain times.”.
