<\/div>\nAlberta Century Farm & Ranch Award<\/h2>\n
The Alberta Century Farm & Ranch Awards recognizes farm families, who through hard work and sacrifice, have worked to keep their farms or ranches from generation to generation and continue to actively farm or ranch their land today. The program was established in 1993.<\/p>\n
This award reflects the Alberta Government’s confidence in the modern farm and ranch family’s ability to continue overcoming the constant challenges to remain on the land. The Government of Alberta salutes the enduring contribution farm and ranch families make to Alberta’s continued economic success.<\/p>\n
Your family will receive a bronze plaque (approx. 15″ x 11.625″), commemorating this 100-year milestone. This award, which can be placed at the gate or hung on a building, symbolizes your family’s perseverance and their ability to keep farming or ranching in the face of change. For more information and application form, please follow this link or contact your local MLA.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\nAMA Northlands Farm Family Award<\/h2>\n
Farm Families are leaders in the industry! A Farm Family should increase awareness of agriculture and maintain a high standard of their agriculture business. They should also promote the agriculture community through involvement and rural citizenship. A farm family must be proactive in new agricultural technologies and act as a role model to the rural community.<\/p>\n
Farm families are recognized every 2nd year by the municipality, and supported and nominated by area agriculture societies on a rotational basis. Families are honoured at the annual Northland\u2019s Farm and Ranch Show gala and banquet at Farmfair International. For more information, please contact your local ag-society president.<\/p>\n
