Jay Whetter

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. He prefers to cook food rather than grow it, and he has huge respect for those who, on our behalf, harvest crops and animals while protecting the precious lands and seas.
