Ag Days Educating About Farm Safety

 
The 41st Annual Manitoba Ag Days, taking place at the Keystone Centre in Brandon.
 
Farm safety will be featured again this year, with 10 companies and organizations showcasing some aspect of farm safety at their booth.
 
Media Coordinator Andrea Guthrie explains why promoting farm safety at the show is so important.
 
"I think it's something that we all need to think of everyday," she said. "We all need to keep it in the back of our minds, that we need to be safe. Whether it's remembering these things and have a safety protocol, at the end of the day we don't want anyone of our family, friends or employees to get hurt on the job."

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
