Norquay Couple Receive Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers Award

By Neil Billinger Jun 21, 2018 | 4:13 PM

Jordan and Jennifer Lindgren own and operate a grain and oilseed farm near Norquay, about an hour northeast of Yorkton.

The Lindgrens have four children: Jaxson, Alexis, Westin and Bristol.

Lindgren Farms uses field scale trials to maximize production, while minimizing costs.

Jordan and Jennifer share their research results with other growers during the Field of Dreams tour. The Lindgrens have also set up an interactive farm tour for grade three and four students.

Three couples were nominated for the Saskatchewan Outstanding Young Farmers Award. The others two nominees were Michael and Jessica Lovich of Balgonie, as well as Lee and Shannon Sluser from Glenavon.

They are all under the age of 40 and derive a minimum of two-thirds gross revenue from farming.

The judging was based on several factors including progress in agricultural career, production history, environmental stewardship, financial management practices and contributions to the community.

The Lindgrens will represent Saskatchewan at the National Outstanding Young Farmers Awards, which will be held in Winnipeg in late November.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
