The award honours five Canadian women who give back to the community and who are leaders in the industry. The women can be producers, veterinarians, teachers, researchers, agribusiness operators, agrologists or journalists. Simply put, we are looking for women who are leaders and mentors to others in the industry.
If you know someone who fits that mold, nominate her today by visiting the FCC website at fccrosemarydavisaward.ca. Self nominations are also encouraged. Nominations close at midnight on Jan.18, 2010.

Photo of the Day
At a quick glance this might look like a snow covered field but it is actually a field of day-neutral strawberries covered with polypropylene, spun-bonded fabric for winter protection. Day-neutral strawberries produce fruit from mid-August to mid-October. This is a newer crop to Nova Scotia. Sixteen farms produced day-neutral strawberries in 2009.
