One of the best things about being in business is the opportunity to sponsor and support various programs. The BC Yukon Outstanding Young Farmers program is certainly one of those!
Our client Derek Janzen is currently the OYF National President and says
“It is in the self-interest of all Canadians to encourage young people in agriculture”
The Outstanding Young Farmer Program is a unique recognition program through which the urban population and consumer recognizes the contributions, achievements, and successes of young farmers.
Why an Outstanding Young Farmer Program?
With agriculture as basic to our Canadian lifestyle as living itself, it is in the self-interest of all Canadians to understand and encourage farmers. The foundation of all industry growth is through youth, thus we believe it is imperative to the preservation of our lifestyle that we encourage the efforts of young people in agriculture. The program brings into the spotlight young men and women who have achieved success and leadership in the agriculture industry. The farmers selected as nominees act as positive role models for our youth, showing farming as an exciting, innovative, and respected profession.
It is further the aim of this program to develop among Canadians a growing awareness of the importance and impact of farming on the Canadian economy. Finally, this is the perfect opportunity for Canadians to say, “job well done”. So get involved and thank a young farming couple by giving them the recognition they deserve.
