This video provides a glimpse of where the farm was at in 2010 and some of the opportunities that were present at the time. Change is inevitable, and growth has occurred since the time of this video. However, the core beliefs and values of Land and Sky Grains have remained the same.
“Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers Program recognizes young farmers who exemplify excellence in their profession. Eligible nominees must be farm operators between 18 and 39 who derive a minimum of two-thirds of their income from their farm operations.
Each year one farming couple is selected from each of the program’s seven Regional Recognition Events to represent their respective region at the National Recognition Event. At the National Event, the seven honourees are recognized for their achievements and judged by a distinguished panel of judges using the following criteria:
- Progress made during their farming career
- Maximum use of soil, water and energy conservation practices
- Crop and livestock production history
- Financial and management practices
- Contributions to the well-being of the community, province and nation
Each year, two of the seven honourees are chosen by the judges as Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers.”
