Dave Campbell is our first Seeds of Success featured producer on Lake 88.
A beef producer for over 20 years, Campbell’s had farming in his blood his whole life, working on his grandfather’s when he was a young boy.
His involvement in agricultural politics is extensive, and he’s currently an Advisor Policy Councillor for Lanark County Beef Farmers of Ontario.
He told Lake 88 this is the only life for him, despite its challenges and unpredictability.
There’s certainly been challenges this year with the market, but overall Campbell says it’s been steady.
He alongside his wife and daughters have 23 cows on their Lanark County farm. They’ve sold a few off recently to make things more managable as they get older.
Campbell says if you see a farmer, thank them, because it’s tiring and always unpredictable work, but there’s no better beef produced in the world than Canada and Ontario.
