Premier Doug Ford Calls Out the Waterloo Region for Mishandling the Wilmot Land Acquisition
Members of the Fight for Farmland Group, alongside concerned Wilmot community members, attended the 105th International Plowing Match (IPM) in Lindsay, Ontario, where Premier Doug Ford shifted blame onto the Region of Waterloo for the mishandling of the Wilmot Land Assembly and its farmland acquisition.








In an attempt to finally get answers and bring transparency to the controversial 770-acre industrial mega-site being forced in Wilmot Township and inform the community of its significant implications, the Fight for Farmland Group filed 21 basic Freedom of Information Requests with the Region of Waterloo, 18 of which were denied entirely, and the remaining 3 answered with “no record” nor information.
Freedom Of Information Requests Denied
Region of Waterloo Shreds Spectacular Corn Crop and Taxpayer Dollars in Wanton Destruction of Agricultural Land in Wilmot Township
The Waterloo Federation of Agriculture estimates that the Region squandered a significant amount of revenue by destroying this crop. Corn valued at approximately $5.00 per bushel, with an average yield of 200 bushels per acre on this prime farmland, represents potential revenues of around $1,000 per acre. This totals a staggering $160,000 in lost revenue, for which the landowner must be compensated by the Region, not to mention the additional cost incurred for crop destruction services. To put this into perspective, this field could have produced 2.5 million boxes of 400g Corn Flakes cereal.
