Salute to Agriculture Alberta Beef promoted in Mexico

by Sonny Rajoo

Some well known livestock farmers, specializing in cattle production, had the opportunity to showcase their high quality products in a trade show in Mexico recently. Included in this delegation was well known Solaris producer and marketer, Elroy Yakemchuk, a councillor for Division 5 in the County of Two Hills.

The 18 year veteran on County Council enjoyed the social interaction and had the opportunity to mingle with beef producers and trade delegates from Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Mexico. Several federal and provincial government delegates mingled with local and visiting farmers and were able to trade ideas and network with their colleagues in the beef industry.

Accompanying Yakemchuk was Karlene Yakemchuk, his daughter-in-law, who did a splendid job at this prestigious event.
