Looking For The Top 50 In Canadian Agriculture

Jan 08, 2021

Canadian Western Agribition's search for the Top 50 Most Influential People in Canadian Agriculture is set to wrap up on Monday.

CEO Chris Lane says they've had a great response to date noting it's fun to see the nominations coming in and the amazing and well deserved people being recognized

by their peers for the job they are doing.

He notes people can nominate themselves or someone else in any segment of the Canadian Agriculture industry.

"The program really came together by a genuine and authentic desire just to take a minute, in a year where everything slowed down a little bit to recognize that Agriculture didn't and that it's an extremely important part of our economy. It's an extremely important of our communities and something we're really proud to be a part of."

Monday, January 11th marks the application deadline for the Canadian Western Agribition's search for the Top 50 Most Influential People in Agriculture.
