Planning underway for AFSC’s 4-H Next Generation Tour

The bags aren't packed yet, but planning is in full swing for the 2025 AFSC 4-H Alberta Ag Next Generation Tour, July 14 to 23.

This summer adventure will give a group of standout 4-H Alberta members a front-row seat to the agriculture industry — with behind-the-scenes access to some of Alberta’s most innovative farms, agribusinesses and local food operations. 

Sixteen youth were selected for this year’s tour during 4-H Alberta’s Spring Senior Symposium, held May 2 and 3 at Olds College. The annual event welcomed 125 senior members for a weekend of leadership building, health and wellness sessions and, of course, official trip selections. Tour delegates were chosen based on 4-H involvement, diary points, peer collaboration, and their all-in participation throughout the symposium.

It’s a powerful example of how strategic location, cross-border access, and strong production capacity come together to support both local agriculture and global markets ??

?? Watch as Andrew Morse, Executive Director of Flowers Canada, shares insights and the full story behind Ontario’s tulip industry and its thriving flower sector.
