Farmer recognition certificates
The certificate
The CWB would like to recognize the significant contribution to Prairie agriculture made by farmers who have actively grain farmed for over 50 years. The CWB's farmer recognition certificate acknowledges the contributions of individual farmers to the economy of western Canada and the well being of the entire world by producing high-quality wholesome food. Each certificate names the farmer(s) being recognized and is signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chair of the Board of Directors of the CWB. The CWB corporate seal on gold foil is affixed to the certificate, which is presented in a special cover to ensure its protection.
Certificate criteria
Farmers are eligible for the award if they have actively grain farmed for 50 years or more. Applications should be completed and signed by the actual farmer and/or a reliable witness who has known the farmer in a significant way, i.e. a family member or long term neighbour. A witness may apply for a certificate on behalf of a farmer if the certificate is to be presented to the farmer by the witness.
