The Alberta Farm Writers’ Association and Saskatchewan Farm Writers Association are teaming up for a joint spring tour in the vibrant Medicine Hat region. Where agriculture, innovation, and storytelling collide.
Nestled in southeastern Alberta, the Medicine Hat area is home to some of the country’s most sunshine-filled days, making it a hub for diverse crop production, large-scale greenhouses, and advanced irrigation systems. From specialty crops to energy-smart farming practices, this region showcases the resilience and ingenuity of prairie agriculture.
We will connect with local farmers/companies and learn about the dedication and innovation that is driving the agricultural sector forward, and sustaining this vital region.
AFWA & SFWA Members: $50.00
Non-members/guests: $75.00
