Glenn Powell and Jim Romahn became Life Members, a designation awarded by the ECFWA to agricultural journalists who have made outstanding contributions to agriculture, to the ECFWA, to the [...]]]></description>

Canada is a land built on the foundations of agriculture and the hard work of generations of immigrants and farmers. These are the people who came to what was the “New World” to lay the groundwork for the life, culture and society we enjoy here today. Around the globe today, our country is admired as [...]]]></description>

And now for some shameless self promotion&#8230;
I was thrilled to be the recipient of a writing award at the recent Canadian Farm Writers Federation (CFWF) annual banquet. A news release I wrote last year called &#8220;What gardeners can learn from farmers&#8221; won a bronze in the Alice Switzer award category for news release writing.

Growing numbers of farmers are turning to alternative agriculture and agri-tourism initiatives to help them earn a living. That message was illustrated by several speakers at the recent Canadian Farm Writers Federation annual meeting in Edmonton, Alberta earlier this month.

These are interesting and exciting times to be in agriculture &#8211; and seemingly, even better times to be communicating about food and farming.

Of course, as a [...]]]></description>
