When asked to name someone in agriculture she considered a hero or inspiration, Sheila Hillmer (pictured) answered before the Farms.com writer could finish the question.
“Isabella Miller,” said Hillmer, the current vice chair of Alberta Beef Producers and farmer from near Del Bonita, Alta.
“Living with Isabella was one of the joys of my life,” she said. “It’s one of those things where if you’re lucky enough to get an opportunity like that, you embrace it. I was like a sponge with her. We just didn’t have enough time with her in this world.”
