Being a farmer isn't an easy job. It takes heart and hard work. We, at AFSC, want to thank Alberta's farmers for their drive, dedication and determination while giving them a much-needed break during harvest.

We teamed up with Big Country 93.1 FM, River Country 94.9 FM, River Country 102.1 FM in the north, 840 CFCW in central Alberta, and New Country 105.7 (Brooks and area), Wild 95.5 and Wild 94.5 in the south to bring meals in the field to producers this harvest season.
