Dec 06, 2022

Guelph, ON – AgCareers.com awarded their first-ever Canadian Feed Your Future Scholarship to student Allison Visser, who is in her fourth year in the Honours Agriculture major at the University of Guelph.

AgCareers.com created the Feed Your Future $1,000 scholarship to financially assist a post-secondary student in Canada who is studying agriculture or has the intention of pursuing a career in agriculture. AgCareers.com is committed to Feeding the World with Talent by supporting education and careers opportunities in agriculture and food.

The application process involved students answering essay questions, including, “How are you going to do your part in feeding the world with your talent?” Visser responded, “I am going to feed the world with my talent by educating consumers on where their food comes from to increase consumer trust, promoting sustainable practices that will allow producers to earn consumer trust and remain productive and profitable into the future, and leveraging all available food sources, along with reducing food waste to increase global food security.”

Visser hopes to use her experience and education in agriculture to help Canadian consumers connect to their food.

Video: How Does an Anhydrous Ammonia Applicator Work?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
