Agriculture is a large pillar and industry for Weyburn and surrounding areas. Tuesday, November 7th will see Farmer's Appreciation Night with the Golden Sheaf being awarded.

"Well this award and this event really allow the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce the opportunity to recognize excellence in agricultural achievements and to help foster rural/urban understanding and consideration," says Twila Walkeden, Executive Director for the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce. "Every year we have the privilege to award the Golden Sheaf to a very worthy recipient."

It is important that the Chamber of Commerce recognize all the hard work farmers do all year long.

"The award is based on a few things, it's based on the producer's contribution to and participation in the agricultural industry and community life, so it's really a well-rounded award that really recognizes all types of contribution that, that producer has made," says Walkeden.

Farmers give their blood, sweat and tears to provide, Saskatchewan, Canada and the World with wholesome food. Farmers are an integral part of the economy and the life we know.
