Saskatchewan's Outstanding Young Farmers' Program    

National Outstanding Young Farmers' Program

Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers’ Program is designed to recognize young farmers that exemplify excellence in their profession. Eligible nominees must be farm operators between the ages of 18 and 39 who derive a minimum of two-thirds of their income from their farm operations. Each year, one farming couple is selected from each of the program’s seven Regional Recognition Events to represent their respective region at the National Recognition Event. At the National Event, the seven honourees are recognized for their achievements and judged by a distinguished panel of judges.

Each year, two of the seven honourees are chosen by the judges as Canada’s Outstanding Young Farmers.

The national program is held in a different region each year. For further information, go to www.oyfcanada.com.
