Within the new organization of Grain Farmers of Ontario, districts are divided slightly differently than in their three founding organizations.
Within each of the 15 districts is assigned a minimum of eight delegates. Additional delegates are allocated based on the extent to which each district’s total estimated combined acreage of corn, soybeans and wheat exceeds 6.7 percent of their total provincial acreage. The acreage is estimated based on adjusting production figured for average yields relative to each of the three crops.
District alignment and delegate allocations will be reviewed after the first three years and not less than every five years thereafter, based on the most recent production data. Districts will be required to represent a minimum of five percent of production as defined above, except for northern Ontario, which will be assured a minimum of one district, and eastern Ontario, which will be assured a minimum of two districts, to respect the extent of the geography involved, regardless of the quantity of production.
