A family of Saskatchewan producers have been crowned the province's most outstanding young farmers this year for their innovative practices. Allison Squires and Cody Straza own Upland Organics in Wood Mountain, a village about 170 kilometres southwest of Regina. The two earned their regional awards in a recent farm show in June by Canada's Outstanding Young Farmer's program, which recognizes excellent adult farmers under 40. Squires said the farm operates as a regenerative organic farm, and that's improved their soil and helped them weather the drought.
