Time is running out to nominate the best and the brightest in Grey Bruce agriculture.
The nomination deadline for the annual Tommy Cooper award is this Friday March 26th.
The award recognizes an individual from Grey or Bruce County for his or her outstanding contribution to farming and farm life.
It is named after Tommy Cooper — a 39 year veteran of local agriculture work, serving as a provincial government farm extension worker in Grey County.
Cooper is widely credited for helping area farmers adapt to new scientific and mechanical innovations.
He was also instrumental in founding the Grey Bruce Livestock Co-operative, and worked with many commodity organizations.
Nomination forms are available at the Grey Agricultural Services Centre in Markdale, at the Federation of Agriculture office in Hanover or at our radio stations or on our website under agricultural news.
You must have your nomination form back at our radio station by 5 PM this Friday, March 26th.
You can either drop off the nomination at our radio station or fax them in to 519-371-4242.
The Tommy Cooper award will be handed out at the Elmwood Community Centre on Friday, April 16th at 6:30 PM.
