Cronin is planning one final trip to the United Kingdom late this summer and will then be finalizing her Nuffield report. "By the time I'm done, I will have spent 18 to 19 weeks travelling, so I have a lot of thoughts from a lot of farmers," she explains. "Now the big challenge is going to be to pull it all together and determine what rises to the top for this project." In addition to the formal presentation of her Nuffield report, Cronin wants to find ways to share her learnings with groups across Canada and around the globe. "When it comes to risk management, there are all kinds of work done on this by professionals, but when it comes from one of your peers, I think the information is sometimes interpreted and accepted differently," she says. "I have seen a lot of really interesting ideas and approaches, and I'm hoping to get out and talk about it." Cronin's final report will also outline risk management recommendations for farmers, industry, and government. She sincerely thanks Grain Farmers of Ontario and the other sponsors who supported her travel. Without the industry's financial support, her study would not have been possible. l
