I just prepared a post-event report on media and this year’s #IPM2023. How many media outlets do you think helped to tell our stories from the Match?

We are tremendously grateful to the 63 media outlets who helped share the successes and the stories that were #IPM2023. Good news stories are so incredibly important right now, and we sure had some for this year’s IPM and Rural Expo! With our grateful thanks! #OntAg
