The Manitoba Agricultural Museum near Austin wants to hear your farming stories.
It's all part of an upcoming project for the celebration of Manitoba's 150th birthday.
Executive Director Anaïs Biernat explains further.
"We're very lucky this year to receive some funding from the Celebrate 150 Grant Program by the Manitoba 150. That is for the project of both collecting and exhibiting some farmers' stories. The idea is really to give a voice to farmers of today and of the past. People can share a portrait as well as a story from themselves, a friend, (or even a family member) that is farming."
They hope to unveil the project titled the Farmers of Manitoba Exhibit on the tentative opening date of May 16th.
Biernat says this is an important exhibit to feature.
"We thought it was interesting to tie the past and the present of agriculture, which is why we ask for participation from past farmers and farmers of today. (We want to) have that conversation between the two, and also highlight the work that farmers do today as well."
She adds farming has been a significant part of Manitoba's identity because farming has been the roots of Manitoba.
Here's how you can participate in the project.
"We have a participation form in the office. You can give us a call or send us an email, and we can definitely share that with you, and it will be added on our website as well."
