Jeff and Ebony Prosko of J & E Prosko Farms in Rose Valley are the 2015 Outstanding Young Farmers (OYF) for Saskatchewan.

Jeff and Ebony share a strong passion for agriculture and family farming. Life revolves around the grain and oilseed farm in northeastern Saskatchewan they operate with their daughters Harper and Londyn. They focus on maximizing production efficiency in their crops to deliver the best yields and quality. Technology plays an important role in their operation, using variable rate fertilizer and seed application, and the latest seed genetics.

“Innovative and leadership are two traits Jeff and Ebony live by on their family farm and in their local community,” says Luanne Lynne, Vice President West, Canada’s OYF program. “They have built a progressive, dynamic business that supports their love of agriculture, family and community. OYF is proud to welcome them into our family.

” Farming with family provides additional opportunities for the Prosko’s. Together with Jeff’s family – parents Rick and Donna, brother Joel (Meghan), and sister Giselle (Reagen) – they operate ProSoils Inc., an independent ag retail business that serves their community of Rose Valley.

Off the farm, Jeff has a special interest in helping advance good policy for young farmers. He sits on several industry boards that play a role in developing policy at the provincial and federal levels, and also lends his time to groups focused on networking and education.
