According Red Deer County Agricultural Services staff Aimee Delaney, ““The goal of the YFAA program is to inspire Red Deer County youth to talk to their farming neighbours, and members of the farming community about agriculture. It is so important for young people to understand where their food comes from and the time and effort put into growing it.”

The deadline for submissions is November 15, 2020. Winners will be announced through Red Deer County social media and publications. For contest rules and regulations, visit rdcounty.ca/agriculture.
