Applications Now Open For G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship

Feb 03, 2021

The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship is back.

G3, in partnership with Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C), will award six scholarships of $4,000 each to students from across Canada* beginning their post-secondary education, in any discipline.

“The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship was a great success in 2020, with thousands of votes cast for the videos that were submitted by an impressive field of bright young Canadians,” said Don Chapman, President and CEO of G3. “Our judges had a difficult task choosing winners from so many great entries and I’m sure this year will be no different.”

To apply, students must establish and explain their vision for the future of agriculture in Canada in a two-to-four-minute video essay. Students must also identify how their studies will help achieve their vision for the future of Agriculture. In addition to the scholarship, the winners’ school will also receive $1000.

Last year’s inaugural scholarships were awarded to six students beginning their post-secondary education in university and college across Canada.

“AITC-C is excited to be involved in helping the next generation of leaders reach their post-secondary educational goals,” said Johanne Ross, Executive Director of AITC-C. “Allowing youth to think innovatively and creatively about food and farming will help them to understand the role agriculture plays, not only their daily life, but also as a future career opportunity!”

Entries will be judged by a panel of industry professionals, and the public via online voting.

Applications for the G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship are due by April 1st, 2021.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
