Perth Farmer Wins Agri-Food Management Scholarship

A Perth County farmer is the winner of this year's Robert (Bob) L. Ross scholarship.

The scholarship offers free tuition to Agri-Food Management Excellence CTEAM program and up to 4 thousand dollars towards travel expenses.

It was created in 2014 in memory of Bob Ross, a dairy farmer and farm business consultant from St. Marys.

This year's winner is Mark Brock from Staffa.

Brock and his wife Sandi run Shepherd Creek Farms, a cash crop and sheep farm.

He's also chair of Grain Farmers of Ontario.

Brock says the scholarship will allow both he and his wife to participate in the program.

The CTEAM program provides farmers and ranchers training on farm business management.

Participants use their own farm data during the program.
