AFSC’s Grassroots Fund supports 4-H at the local level

For over 100 years, 4-H has been an integral part of Alberta’s agricultural landscape, teaching youth about resourcefulness, cooperation, determination, and leadership. Agriculture Financial Services (AFSC) is proud to help support 4-H in Alberta through post-secondary scholarships, support for a variety of provincial programs and our 4-H Alberta Grassroots Fund.

Through this fund, any new or existing 4-H Alberta sanctioned club can apply for up to $300 to be used to support activities, programs, events or initiatives that fall into the areas of Agriculture/Agri-Food, Education and Outreach, and Community Well-Being. Funds are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis until all funds are allotted.

Video: 5 Barns Setup For Winter Sheep Care In Canada

Today at Ewetopia Farms, we go on a tour of our five sheep barns that have recently been updated and reorganized for winter sheep care in Canada. Join us as we go through each barn to look at the pregnant Dorset and Suffolk ewes from both our first and second breedings, see where both the older and younger rams are now residing, and visit the new replacement ewe lamb barn as well. It's all the same barns, but setup differently for lambing, feeding and overall care over the winter months.
