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.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with 840 CFCW and Real Country 105.7 – Brooks to bring Meals in the Field to producers in central and southern Alberta. AFSC is also bringing meals in the field to producers in northern Alberta.

If you know a farmer or farm family (or are one yourself) that deserves a break this harvest season, please fill out the appropriate entry form to enter them to win a special Meals in the Field harvest break.
