Jay Whetter is a Canadian farm journalist with 25 years of experience. Jay grew up on a farm near Dand, Manitoba, and lives in Kenora, Ontario. Jay is on the board of Science Writers and Communicators of Canada and is a member of the Canadian Farm Writers Federation, which he says are rich and rewarding communities of communicators.
