Gord Speksnijder

Gord Speksnijder grew up on a chicken farm in Northumberland County. He earned his MSc from Guelph which led to a position at the University of Georgia where he was involved in creation of a small biotech company. Gord returned to Ontario to help on the farm and work in support of Canadian poultry research. With his family now out of poultry, Gord’s focus has shifted to learning more about crop and soil health. These pursuits led him to OSCIA, where Gord serves on the Board representing the Quinte region and as Research Committee chair. Wanting to keep wheat in the rotation, Gord is a two-year participant in the YEN program and is keen to learn what it takes to "grow great wheat"!
