Collisions YYC

Scott walks us through how United Farmers of Alberta Co-operative (UFA) was formed by farmers for farmers, who knew that they could accomplish more by working together. The co-operative evolved over the years, even forming the provincial government from 1921 to 1935, and today it is 120,000 members strong. Agriculture is constantly evolving, and the same holds true for UFA, over the years it has grown to include 34 Farm & Ranch Supply stores and 111 cardlock agencies, serving farmers and ranchers across the province and in parts of BC and Saskatchewan. Our agriculture sector is united by UFA and poised to be a leader - not just in Canada, but globally - leveraging their 110+ year expertise into Alberta’s future proof economy.

Show Notes

Alberta’s agriculture industry has always been a key pillar of the province’s economy — but it’s also in unprecedented growth mode right now. As Alberta’s oil and gas sector continues to take a hit, farmers are seeing an opportunity to gain more ground in the agricultural sector.
 
Scott knows agricultural production in Alberta is growing — that’s why he works so hard to ensure that the technology used to produce high-quality, sustainable products is also growing. His team at UFA is working on extending the agricultural experience, and by reflecting on some sound advice he received early in his career, Scott knows how to continue making a name for UFA as an undisputed leader in agriculture.
