Jed Denham and Alexandra Cooper, attended our December 10th meeting and shared with us, their experiences at the Adventures in Agriculture Program from November 26 - 30, 2014 in Regina, Saskatchewan.
 
This program, held during the internationally acclaimed Canadian Western Agribition, provides students who attend an opportunity to visit Agribition, tour major agriculture based industries, and participate in networking and information sessions conducted by agriculture industry professionals and business leaders.
 
The program is aimed towards senior High School Students interested in agriculture, and is designed to help broaden knowledge and understanding of the multi-faceted agricultural sector, environmental issues, and the challenge of providing food for the world.
 
Jed described his visit to the Red Head Equipment shop, Ralph McKay Industries, John Deere, Viterra Grain terminal, and the Univ. of Saskatchewan labs.
 
Alexandra commented on how everything in Saskatchewan was on such a larger scale than what she is used to in our area. On Thursday, they got to see the rodeo at the Agribition and on Saturday attended the banquet.
 
Both students thanked Rotary for the opportunity to attend.
