Beaver County’s Rude family honoured
Beaver County’s Stacey and Kent Rude were recently honoured at the 2019 Farmfair International and are the recipients of the BMO Farm Family Award.
“Thank you to Beaver County councillor Gene Hrabec for nominating the Rude Family; it was my pleasure to be in attendance and see them accept this well-deserving award,” MLA Jackie Lovely said. “The technology advancement they use with their mixed operation make them leaders in the community!”
For 50 years, BMO has recognized farm families from across northern and central Alberta with the BMO Farm Family Awards, where families are nominated from 20 counties across the region by other members of their community.
Once nominated, the Northern and Central Agricultural Service Boards select outstanding families who best represent values of the family farm within their rural community. The award honours both their farming business practices and community involvement.
