Nominations close at the end of the month for the county's first Master Farm Family Award since the beginning of the pandemic.

Rocky View County created the award in 1989 to recognize a ranch or farm family for their achievements in technical farm production, sustainability practices, team farm business management, agricultural industry involvement, and community service.

It was last presented in 2019 to Ron and Donna Hurt of Cross Rock Ranch Ltd. in the Crossfield area. The WineGlass Ranch of the Cochrane area was the first recipient.

The winners receive complimentary tickets to the AgVenture tour, a plaque, and a gate sign.

Nominations close on Feb. 28. The information you need to submit a nomination is here.
