Note: * New Delegates
We would also like to thank Frank Crook for his years of service to UFA and the members of the Medicine Hat district.
We are still recruiting for delegates in Claresholm, La Crete, Medicine Hat and Provost. If you or someone you know is passionate about agriculture and making a difference, visit here for more information or to make a nomination.
Thank you to all our delegates for choosing to serve and to those eligible members for voting. Our co-operative was formed for farmers by farmers and for 112 years we have been the voice of agriculture in Alberta as well as in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. We look forward to continuing our legacy by working together for farmers and ranchers in the spirit of co-operation.
