Today was Farmer's Day at the High River UFA Farm Store. Farmer's Day used to be a holiday, one which UFA still chooses to celebrate.

The day is to celebrate the hard working men and women in rural communities.

Linda Stephens, site operations manager at UFA, says it's a day their whole staff team looks forward to.

"It's just a great opportunity to network with the members, pass on savings, and talk to them about what are some of the things we are doing well, and what are some of the things UFA needs to improve on."

Stephens adds, everyone gets excited when it comes to recognizing farmers.

The beautiful weather, and community turnout, made the day a success.
