. Agri-news. Agriculture. Phone (403) 427-2121. CO CO CO CO CO CO CO June 8,1992 UFA renews support to Summer Ag Institute The Summer Agricultural Institute has received another boost from one of its major sponsors. The United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) has renewed its commitment to the agricultural awareness program for Alberta teachers by pledging another two years in scholarship funding for the full-credit, fourth year university level course. "UFA'S continued support of the Summer Agricultural Institute demonstrates interest and advocacy in agricultural awareness. This leadership role has been a major contributor to the success of the institute and promoting the entire agriculture industry," says Shirley McClellan, Alberta's associate agriculture minister and minister reponsible for rural development. "Our membership and delegates see the need for more agricultural education and supporting those efforts any way we can," says Orval Sorken, UFA president. The Summer Agricultural Institute was launched in 1990 in Lethbridge, moving to Olds College in 1991 and will run at Lakeland College in Vermilion August 10 through 21 this year. During the 11-day program, teachers explore the diversity of Alberta's agriculture industry through an active learning environment with expert guest speakers, agricultural tours and a stay with a farm family. Production, processing, marketing, and research and development are highlighted. Betty Gabert, co-ordinator of Alberta Agriculture's Agriculture in the Classroom program says institute graduates have become part of a growing network of agricultural ambassadors in Alberta schools, linking educators and the agriculture industry. Brochures with application forms and further information are available by calling the Agriculture in the Classroom program in Edmonton at 427-2402.
