The Dauphin Ag Society's 40th annual farm outlook looks place today, featuring a wide array of topics and speakers.

As tradition, The Ron Brook Memorial Award was presented at the luncheon, but this year had a bit of a twist.

This year's award went to commemorate the founding members of Farm Outlook, which according to Ag Society Member Jim Kaleta, started with a different name.

"It started in 1984 until now, and coincidentally, Ron Brook  was on as the president of the ag society the year the Farm Out first started as 'Challenges of Production.'"

The Aspen Lodge was packed with people from various agricultural sectors for this day of fellowship and educational seminars.

Kaleta mentioned that as part of celebrating this 40th year, the Dauphin Ag Society will also be creating another scholarship.

"We decided to put a $2000 scholarship forward, and Ag Society had already been doing a $1000 scholarship a year, and it's towards somebody that going to pursue some further education in the agricultural sector."

Kaleta also noted that events like these are important to continue, saying learning is a lifelong endeavor, especially in the ever-changing world of agriculture.

After 40 years of bringing the brilliant minds of Manitoba's agricultural sector together, Dauphin's Ag Society is looking forward to many more years of success.
