Writer
Colette grew up on a dairy farm near Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec, and now lives in Ottawa. She writes about dairy, supply management and the people who work on Canadian farms.
Contracts, shared data and joint problem solving can spread risk between farms and processors. How the main arrangements work, and why some partnerships fail.
From the 1966 Jamaica agreement to today's Agricultural Stream: how farms hire seasonal workers from abroad, the rules on wages and housing, and the criticisms.
From the Canadian Dairy Commission to one farm's daily butterfat quota: how milk is planned, priced, pooled and traded in Canada, taken one part at a time.
