Steinbach-Area Farmers Prepare For Manitoba Outstanding Young Farmers Awards

Feb 28, 2017

The nominees for the Manitoba Outstanding Young Farmers Award are busy preparing for this year's event.

The gathering will be held March 3 - 5 at the Elkhorn Resort in Onanole, MB.

Brent and Kirsty Oswald, who operate Cottonwood Holsteins near Steinbach, are up for the award this year.

Brent had some thoughts on receiving the nod.

“There's never a better honour than to be recognized by your peers,” he said. “It's always nice when the best of your abilities gets recognized by other people in the industry.”
