Quote-Clinton Monchuk-Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan:

A lot of the commodity groups realised that we needed to do a better job talking to consumers and more of a proactive role.What I mean by that is, we see different social media or media headlines that talk about some thing to do with agriculture that's maybe misrepresented or complete mistruth about agriculture.

What the commodity groups here in Saskatchewan decided to say is, we need to get ahead of this curve.We need to have an organization that is actually trying to proactively engage with consumers about what farmers and ranchers are doing.That's effectively what we're doing.

We want to get out ahead of the curve, make sure that consumers in our province and throughout Canada understand what farmers and ranchers are doing to try and avoid some of these misrepresentations and mistruths later on in the future.The champion award is really celebrating an individual that has gone above and beyond in terms of what they're doing to try and engage or educate consumers about what farmers and ranchers are doing.

Anybody who's nominated for the Champion Award, what we're looking for is how they've used their skills to better inform consumers about what we do in the agriculture world and really done a measurable job of  that.
