In partnership with the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, Co-ops of Westman is launching the ‘Co-op Future Farmers Contest’ – a celebration of young agricultural enthusiasts and their connection to farm life.
The contest is open to families across the region and offers a unique opportunity to showcase the future of farming while competing for a $500 gift card.
Parents or guardians can submit a photo of their child (ages 0–17) in one of these categories:
1. Farm Life in Action: A picture of the child engaged in activities on the farm.
2. Through Their Lens: A photo taken by the child that captures the essence of life on the farm.
Along with a photo, you must write one sentence answering the question, “What kind of farmer do you want to be, and why?” Entries will be accepted until March 7, 2025. Submit your photos via Coops of Westman – We are your Local Coop
One qualifier from each trading area of Valleyview, Boundary, Twin Valley, Pembina, and Heritage Co-op will receive a Co-op prize pack, including a Co-op Future Farmer hat, tickets to the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair and a $25.00 gift card. One lucky winner will receive a $500 gift card from the Co-ops of Westman.
The Co-op Future Farmers Contest highlights young people’s critical role in sustaining and advancing agriculture. This contest also highlights the unique bond between families and their farms, fostering community pride and recognizing the dedication of farmers across Manitoba.
The Co-ops of Westman include Heritage, Boundary, Twin Valley, Pembina and Valleyview Co-op. Together, they inspire and support the next generation of farmers in celebrating their agricultural heritage.
