We Canadians are blessed with a food supply bar none on this planet. Its quality, variety and availability are unequalled, and it comes—when compared to income—at of the lowest consumer prices in the world.

 

This would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our Canadian farmers. Competing with the rest of the world, delivering safe, affordable food, and building local communities are all part of their contribution. We Canadians tend to take this all for granted.

 

One of the biggest challenges facing Canadian farming is the ageing population of farmers. We need to bring more young farmers into the business. The renewed energy and fresh ideas that they bring are essential. We need to create the opportunities, the encouragement and the support to lure young people into farming, and to keep them there. It is essential if we want to continue to enjoy affordable, safe, and locally available food every day.

 

This is your opportunity to make a contribution to help build the community of young farmers!

 

The Outstanding Young Farmer Program—for farmers between the ages of 18 and 39—will host its National Conference in Victoria, BC on November 23 to 28, 2010, to select from the 2010 regional winners and award the National 2010 Outstanding Young Farmer award. We would like to invite you to help sponsor this important event.

 

Here are some great reasons to get involved:

 

  • The Outstanding Young Farmers Program is a recognized leader in profiling and supporting the development of the next generation of farm leaders

 

  • Bolster your marketing program with this unique opportunity to profile your products/services/mission to THE very best farm managers and decision makers of their generation (over 250 farmers expected from across Canada – all recognized for their superior farm management as program alumni)

 

  • Enhance public and client relations by showing support for and celebrating the future of the agri‐food industry through association with this positive, progressive program when all of Canada is watching!

 

Please download the sponsorship letter and choose your level of involvement. If you need more information or have additional ideas, please do not hesitate to give us a call (our numbers are below). We can also design a custom-made solution for you above the Gold level of sponsorship.

 

We thank you for supporting the National Outstanding Young Farmer program.

Yours sincerely,
