Here’s today’s agriculture news.
The Lead
We start with a vaccine update. The Ontario government has launched a pilot project to offer COVID-19 vaccines to migrant farm workers upon their arrival at Pearson International Airport in Toronto. As The Canadian Press reports, 200 temporary foreign workers were expected to arrive on Saturday from Mexico. Representatives from the Mexican consulate were expected to be at the airport to help with the pilot project.

April 12th is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day! Although it only requires three ingredients (bread, cheese, and butter), grilled cheese is one of the most popular comfort foods in the world.
In Australia we call it a cheese toasty short for toasted sandwich. Which, if you think about it, makes more sense as you re not actually grilling anything in a grilled cheese, but you do toast the bread ..
We like to have a ham and cheese toasty, a ham, cheese and tomato toasty or plain cheese toasty.
In fact many civilizations make the popular dish in very different ways? Did you know that the Ancient Romans were the first civilization to make a cooked bread and cheese sandwich? TRUTH! Still, many cultures have invented their own take on this ancient dish. In France, people enjoy Croque Monsieur (a grilled ham and cheese sandwich) while in Switzerland, they melt the cheese and toast the bread separately before combining them.

CASE you missed it. National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day
Although it only requires three ingredients (bread, cheese, and butter), grilled cheese is one of the most popular comfort foods in the world.
For example, did you know that the Ancient Romans were the first civilization to make a cooked bread and cheese sandwich? TRUTH! Still, many cultures have invented their own take on this ancient dish. In France, people enjoy Croque Monsieur (a grilled ham and cheese sandwich) while in Switzerland, they melt the cheese and toast the bread
separatelybefore combining them.
As for the classic American grilled cheese, the sandwich emerged in the 1920s when inexpensive cheese and affordable sliced bread became available. It’s now a staple in cafés, diners, and school cafeterias across the country!
Today Is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day
Oh boy, now this is one holiday I can get behind. It s National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. Who doesn t love a grill cheese sandwich? Well, I guess folks who don t like cheese or can t eat dairy but for the rest of us, we will tear up a grilled cheese.
I remember when I was growing up, my mom would make me a grilled cheese for lunch during the summer. The more butter on the bread the better, but what kind of cheese you put on it and how much you use makes all the difference.
