Holstein Canada released the names of the winners of its 2012 Education Awards. The announcement was made by Holstein Canada’s Young Adult Advisory Committee that six winners were chosen from 31 applicants.

“Getting 31 applications from such highly deserving students is wonderful. We get to learn about keen young adults who are involved in the industry but it is difficult to narrow it down to select the six winners for the whole country, said Janet Walker, Young Adult Program Coordinator for Holstein Canada.

The winners were chosen based on the criteria of farm involvement, community involvement, career goals, and scholastic record.
