In Ontario, the race for industrial megasites meets farmers’ fury
New Hamburg, Ontario (September 12, 2024) - Dairy farmer Stewart Snyder, 70, owns two farm land properties in New Hamburg, ON since 1976. His family has been farming in the area since 1866 and is now facing expropriation by Waterloo Region and the Ontario government. The region is planning on building industrial mega factories in the area that would make farming for Snyder impossible. This makes the future of his farm being passed down to his son Martin Snyder, 37, a distant dream. Some of the neighbouring farms have already had their corn destroyed for future development.
