WINNIPEG, MB, December 3, 2025 – It is with mixed emotions that we announce that Bob Willcox will retire as President of Glacier FarmMedia (GFM) at the end of 2025. Starting in the marketing department of the Manitoba Co-operator in 2001, Bob was promoted to GFM Publisher in 2006 and became President in 2012.
“The business of agriculture and media has changed considerably since I started with farm publications,” says Bob Willcox. “I’d like to thank everyone at Glacier FarmMedia for their work in adapting to the change and expanding the ways we connect with farmers through our print, digital and farm show offerings”.
During his 24 years at GFM, Willcox has contributed in many ways to the company’s growth, while building a culture focused on teamwork and achieving results.
“As President, he has overseen the successful diversification of the business from a print media business to a dynamic multi-channel company” said Mark Melville, President of Glacier Media. “Bob has remained steadfast in providing important journalism from many trusted media franchises, established and grown influential outdoor farm shows and guided AgDealer to be the leading marketplace for new and used farm equipment in Canada. Bob has always remained focused on serving the needs of Canadian farmers, ranchers and rural Canadians. I want to heartily thank him for all his hard work and dedication.”
As Willcox steps into an advisory role in his retirement, executive leadership transition plans are in progress. The company will remain focused on sustaining the integrated company culture that Willcox established while evolving the company’s purpose-driven products and services for Canadian farmers and livestock producers.
