Kyle Larkin will step down as executive director of Grain Growers of Canada (GGC). December will be Larkin’s final month in the role, which he has occupied since summer 2023.
In a post on LinkedIn, Larkin called leading GGC the “the best experience of (his) career” and said it has been a privilege to work with grain farmer directors, Grains HQ colleagues and other stakeholders on behalf of “Canada’s 70,000 grain farmers.”
He also listed several of the organization’s accomplishments from his time as executive director, including “raising awareness on the importance of grain farmers as the backbone of Canada’s agriculture sector … getting Bills C-244 and C-294 passed to allow farmers to continue repairing their own equipment … and pushing for the passing of Bill C-234 to end the carbon tax for on-farm activities.”
Larkin said he will announce his “next steps” in the new year and looks forward to continuing to work to strengthen Canada’s agriculture sector.
