Agriculture is a passion for COYF nominees

Canada's Outstanding Young Farmers are gathering in Saskatoon this week for the National event.

The three-day event is being held in Saskatoon and includes a series of agriculture-related tours and a one-day conference.

The highlight of the event is the naming of this year's national winners when two of seven regional participants will walk away with the title.

The 2022 Outstanding Young Farmers for the prairie region include Manitoba's Richard and Kristy-Layne Carr of Marchand, Saskatchewan's
Cody Straza and Allison Squires and Alberta's Ben and Stephanie Campbell.

The couples are competing with other outstanding young producers from across the country for one of two titles as Canada's National Outstanding Young Farmers, that presentation takes place tonight in Saskatoon.
