Another 4-H year wrapped up. Congratulations to all the members on their achievements and the projects they brought forward this year.

Quedenbaum Farms and the Barrhead District Seed Cleaning Co-op Ltd. were happy to support the sale by purchasing a steer together.
Seeing how excited members are to receive the awards reminded us why supporting these awards is worthwhile.
It’s encouraging to see young people staying involved in agriculture and being part of the rural community around them.

Last month Uwe Quedenbaum was able to escape the winter storm to the nice weather in Winnipeg for an event put on by Cereals Canada to connect farmers to global customers of Canadian cereals. They were able to learn and network with fellow farmers from across Canada.
He highly recommends for anyone in the field of agriculture to apply and attend the 3-4 day event. For more info and sign up: https://combinetocustomer.ca/

Happy Canadian Agriculture Day🐄🐑🐓🌾🚜

Today is Canada's Agriculture Day. 🇨🇦🌱

A day to recognize the farmers, ranchers, researchers, truck drivers, processors, retailers, and innovators who keep food moving — and keep Canada growing.

Agriculture isn’t just an industry.
It’s community.
It’s innovation.
It’s sustainability.
It’s careers.
It’s possibility.

At Ag for Life, we see firsthand how powerful agriculture becomes when students connect what they’re learning to the real world around them. When young people understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, and the people behind it — curiosity grows. Respect grows. Trust grows.

And that matters.

Because agriculture touches every Canadian. Every single day.

Today, we celebrate the people behind our food and the future leaders sitting in classrooms across Alberta who will shape what agriculture becomes next.

🌾 Happy Canada's Agriculture Day.
Let’s keep growing understanding — together.

Did you know?

In Canada, the agriculture and agri-food system supports 2.3 million jobs — that’s 1 in 9 jobs nationwide.

But here’s the part that surprises people:

Only about 223,000 of those jobs are on farms.
That’s roughly 10% of the total.

The other 90% of agriculture jobs are in:
• Food processing
• Transportation
• Research & innovation
• Equipment & technology
• Retail & foodservice
• Finance, marketing & more

Agriculture isn’t just farming.
It’s an entire economic ecosystem.

🌾 Agriculture connects classrooms to careers — and careers to communities.
