Manitoba Ag Days Looking For Farmer Votes

Voting is now open for the Manitoba Ag Days Farmer's Choice Grand Prize Champion in the Innovation Showcase.
 
Kristen Phillips is the General Manager for Manitoba Ag Days.
 
"We really wanted to make sure farmers were involved without a live show, we wanted a way to pull them in," she said. "We decided to move forward with a Farmer's Choice Grand Prize, where the farmers get to vote for their Farmer's Choice Champion and ultimately the exhibitor will get $10,000."
 
There are seven finalists in the competition.
 
 
The winner will be announced January 25th.
 
A webinar showcasing each of the finalists is taking place January 14th.
