Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers program is more than a showcase for Canada’s Outstanding Agriculture Industry, the national event brings all of Canada’s grassroots ag producers together to celebrate the struggles and the successes of the work people do everyday. It is an opportunity to learn from each other, talk about what we do in agriculture, renew old friendships and to make new friendships.
