Hensall Co-op is pleased to announce our 2022 Bright Futures Scholarship program is available. The purpose of the scholarship is to provide post-secondary assistance to students who are entering their first year of post-secondary education and have shown a career interest in agriculture or a field or trade that will advance rural communities and economies.

Up to three scholarships of $2,500 each will be awarded to students who are children or grandchildren of individuals who were a member of Hensall Co-op as of March 1 of the year of application, individuals who had a controlling interest in an entity that was a member as of that date or a Hensall Co-op employee as of the date of application. Full details and application are available through this link:

Bright Futures 

To be considered for a Scholarship, applicants must complete an application and submit it to Hensall Co-op (marketing@hdc.on.ca) by August 1st of the year of application. 

We are pleased to announce Hensall Co-op is sponsoring and providing content for the Edible Bean School on RealAgriculture.com, starting on Monday February 22, 2021.

This video series gives growers the opportunity to learn - on their own time and at their own pace. Both producers who have never grown edibles and seasoned growers will find something to help them attain success growing human-grade edible beans.

We are pleased to share our market and agronomic expertise with Canadian producers, giving them the opportunity to take advantage of this growing segment of the food industry.
 

The judges were impressed with the submissions, both in quality of the images and how the contestants followed the guidelines for each category. We thank all participants and hope you will take part in our next photo contest. Remember, we will require photos from all seasons so keep those cameras snapping!

Thank you to our judges Nancy Taylor from Cranberryblewe Graphic Design and Illustration, Kent Schubert from GBB Inc. Management Consultants and Reta Byvelds from Hensall Co-op.
