Let’s Celebrate Dad!
Manitoba canola farmer Curtis McRae’s earliest memories include riding in the tractor with his dad from seeding to harvest. Now, it’s Curtis’s turn to make memories with his kids on the farm.
Curtis is a strong believer that farmers have to be good environmental stewards. “I have to look after the land, so that my children can run an even better farm than I have,” states Curtis McRae.
Let’s celebrate dad and the jobs that they do, from farmers, scientists, and engineers, to teachers, accountants and construction workers, on Father’s day with food!
