Andrea Gal, managing editor of Better Farming and Farms.com, said personal and practical gifts could be a good option.
Emma Butler, a beef producer from Chatham-Kent, listed a variety of items perfect for the farmer, including coveralls, rubber boots and a new pitch fork.
“My husband’s gift to himself was new closing wheels for the planter, which I am totally in favour of,” she said. “As a farm wife I would get my husband a boot cleaner in hopes he would see it and use it before coming into the house. So really it's a gift for me.”
Chris Dahms, a precision land management specialist with Robert’s Farm Equipment, said coffee is a good place to start.
“Tim Horton’s cards always go over well,” he said. “Maybe something related to individual farms or tool boxes.”
Kim Jo Bliss, a producer from the Rainy River District, said her gift came a day early.
“At 1:45 a.m. I found a cow on her back. I rushed to the tractor and (thankfully) it started because it wasn't plugged in. I got her up and she is going to be fine! So that's my gift right there!”
Tim May, a dairy producer from Rockwood, said he would like some time with his wife.
Jenni Tilton-Flood, a producer from Clinton, Maine, U.S.A, said she would be content with about half an hour of drinks and conversation.
