Excellence Award for Ag Students

Excellence Award for Ag Students Each year, the CFBMC collects submissions from agricultural students across Canada and awards three winners with $1,000 towards furthering their education in agriculture. The award is designed to help students develop their communication skills by having the opportunity to voice their opinion on a subject related to farm management. This year, we are asking you to respond to the following: As a future farm manager, how will you balance the environmental stewardship necessary for the safeguarding of our water, air and soil with the need to be productive and competitive in a global economy? The three winning videos will be posted and archived on our website www.farmcentre.com and communicated to popular press. To further help you on your way to academic excellence, the CFBMC’s website, farmcentre.com offers a bilingual directory of agriculture scholarships across Canada.
