Manitoba's Young Farmers Adapt To New Way Of Life

The Canada's Outstanding Young Farmer Award Ceremony for 2020 has been pushed back to next year due to COVID-19
 
Andre Steppler and his wife Katie were the Manitoba nominees for this year.
 
The Miami, MB couple manage the cattle division at Steppler farms.
 
Andre talked about how COVID-19 has impacted his operation.
 
"For our farm ourselves, we do have to move to more of an online platform for marketing and online for the sales, which we've kind of been doing over the last 10 to 5 years anyways," he says. "It didn't hit us as much as a shock factor but it's no doubt when we trim back our networking and our ability to tour farms and just visit and get to know our customers, it does change our life quite a bit."
 
Andre says winning the Manitoba award earlier this year has brought more of a spotlight to their farm.
