A former Mossbank resident has been inducted into the Saskatchewan Agriculture Hall of Fame.
Laurie Tollefson, retired director of the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Crop Diversification Centre at Outlook, was one of five inducted in mid-April.
Raised on a third generation farm near Mossbank and graduating from Mossbank schools, Tollefson graduated from the University of Saskatchewan, and was employed at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada until he joined the centre.
His nomination was for leadership in advancing irrigation research and technology and promotion of irrigation locally and internationally.
“As a grandson of original homesteaders, a Saskatchewan farm boy, an ag grad, and a lifelong resident of this province, it truly is an honour of a lifetime to receive this,” he told the induction event.
