Pioneer EDA Board Increases Scholarship Award

The Pioneer Equipment Dealers Association says its board of directors have decided to provide an additional $500 to each 2023-24 Pioneer EDA Scholarship award, citing rising tuition costs.  Recipients will now receive a total of $2000 — $1500 from the association and $500 from the dealer — to further their education in the equipment industry, the association says. Additionally, scholarship amounts for the 2024-25 school year will be increased to $2500 — $1500 from the association and $1000 from the dealer.

The Pioneer Equipment Dealers Association says it is committed to partnering with equipment dealers to provide funds to help students attend school for training that is applicable to dealers' needs. Equipment dealer members within the states of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota are eligible to participate in the Pioneer EDA Scholarship Program, association says, and the scholarship is available for current or future full-time employees in all areas of dealership operations, including sales, service, parts and management.

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
