Northlands and AMA Honor Alberta Farm Families

November 3, 2008

Edmonton, AB --- Northlands and the Alberta Motor Association honored recipients of the 2008 AMA Farm Family Awards at a luncheon on Sunday, November 2nd, at Farmfair International. The annual awards recognize outstanding families from northern and central Alberta who best represent the values of the family farm within their rural communities. Now in their 40th year, the AMA Farm Family Awards show appreciation for the contributions each of these families make to the further growth of the agricultural community.

The winners of the annual AMA Farm Family Awards were selected by the Agricultural Service Boards north of Red Deer, based on a review of their farming expertise and community involvement. Each of the winning families were presented with a commemorative gate sign for their farm, as well as gifts from the AMA.
