Agri- Trade honours
area farm family
Jack and Gayle Olson of Willowdale were named
winners of the Agri- Trade Farm Family Award last
Wednesday.
" The Olsons are definitely deserving of this
award," said Agri- Trade chairman Hugh Kellough.
" They are living examples of the benefits of hard
work, good business sense and a belief in the free enterprise
system."
The Olsons ran one of Central Alberta's earliest
feedlots and played an active role in the restructuring
of the Crow freight rate in the 1980s. Jack was a founding
director of the Alberta Cattle Commission, a charter
member and president of the Alberta Cattle Feeders,
and agricultural advisor to the Bank of Montreal.
He was also a member of the Western Stock Growers.
Gayle was a founding member of the Penhold
kindergarten, chaired the Normandeau Cultural and
Natural History Society, and is a 35- year member of
the Women's Institute and a member of the Festival of
Trees committee.
The Olson farm has operated since 1941 when
Jack's parents moved to the Willowdale area. Jack and
his brother purchased the farm in 1978 and split it into
two operations in 1987.
The Agri- Trade Farm Family Award is presented
annually to a family that represents the future of farming
through its utilization of modern farm techniques,
involvement in self- improvement programs, production
of quality products, interest in marketing products
and contribution to their community. The Olsons
were chosen from seven nominations.
