    National Agriculture Awareness Conference to be held in Saskatoon.

    National Agriculture Awareness Conference

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - August 26, 2009

    The 2009 National Agriculture Awareness Conference will be held October
    5 -7, 2009 in Saskatoon, SK. This year's theme will be New Images of
    Agriculture.

    "This year's conference will focus on public perceptions of agriculture,
    says Sara Shymko, Conference Committee Chair. "Our keynote speaker
    Stephen Lewis, a respected humanitarian, will also build on the G8
    Summit in Italy that recommended a dramatic shift from food air to
    agricultural development and what this means for farming communities and
    organizations in Canada."

    Some other topics include panels on perceptions outside and within the
    ag world, the media's role in agriculture awareness, the importance of
    communicating agriculture success stories, learning what's important to
    the millennium generation and the disconnect between youth and
    agriculture.

    "With more than 150 agriculture awareness leaders from across Canada
    expected to attend, it is wise to secure a spot early," Shymko says. "We
    will kick things off on Monday evening with our Opening Reception
    featuring a performance by Sky High Productions titled Pull of the Land.
    The conference will get underway Tuesday morning at 7:30 AM with
    breakfast, followed by our keynote presentation from Stephen Lewis."
