Ag Days Gives Backs 2024 Recipients 

Ag Days Gives Backs 2024 Recipients 

Manitoba Ag Days enters its second decade of investing in rural communities and agriculture education through the Ag Days Gives Back program. 100% of the funds raised through the Manitoba Ag Days 50/50 are used to support K-12 ag education, post secondary ag education and community organizations throughout Manitoba and Saskatchewan.  This represents a commitment of over $362,500 since the program’s inception in 2013.

Our seventeen 2024 Community Grant Recipients represent each quadrant of the province and include a wide variety of types of non-profit organizations. Each recipient was awarded $2000 toward the completion of their project.

This year the scholarship criteria expanded to include any post secondary education and training related to agriculture. The recipients of the 2024 Ag Days Gives Back Scholarships of $2000 each were:

Briana Rathwell – University of Saskatoon

Rylee Olafson – Lakeland College

Blake Artz – Assiniboine Community College

Manitoba Ag Days also awarded the Education and Leadership Grant in the amount of $10,000 to Agriculture in the Classroom – Manitoba.

Manitoba Ag Days show is an annual three-day exposition of agriculture production expertise, technology and equipment that attracts exhibitors and visitors from across Canada and the United States of America held at the Keystone Centre in Brandon Manitoba.  Applications for the next round of Ag Days Gives Back grants and scholarships will open in the fall and be awarded at the 2025 show, which runs from Tuesday, January 21 – Thursday, January 23, 2025.
