Abbey Norek of Gerald is this year's Agriculture Student Scholarship grand-prize $6,000 winner.

Norek's winning video highlighted an urban-rural disconnect when it comes to agriculture. 

She proposed education and advocacy as key solutions to this issue. 

In her video presentation, she talked about her experience building a school garden using recycled materials, leading outreach programs on her family farm, and lobbying for agriculture electives in her school division.  

The runner-ups Noah Skoropad from Chamberlin, Rebecca Mayerle from Tisdale, and Ty Annand from Nipawin, will each receive $3,000.

The recipients will attend the University of Saskatchewan in the fall, where they will study in the College of Agriculture and Bioresources, pursuing Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degrees.  

Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison says seeing such passionate and knowledgeable youth in this year's Agriculture Student Scholarship submissions is encouraging.
