The Thanks For Farming Tour started in 2020 to show support and connect with farmers across Western Canada. Since it began, it's continued to grow and has now visited 12 communities, supporting a local non-profit organization in each of them.
Jeremy Matuszewski is one of the organizers of the tour, and he said it's grown beyond what they could've hoped for. This year, the tour teamed up with Meridian to offer two scholarships for grade 12 students, one in Manitoba and the other in Saskatchewan.
They're going to get the opportunity to put in an application and submit a video talking about why farming is important to their community, and why that community is important to their farm.
Students with a rural address, or who are part of a 4-H club are able to apply for the scholarship. Application information can be found here.
