Madden-area rancher Graeme Finn is the 2018 recipient of Alberta Forage Industry Network’s leadership award. It recognizes individuals showing leadership “in the areas of research, extension or promotion of the economic and environmental benefits of native rangeland, seeded pasture or hay land,” the forage network said in a press release.
The organization cited Finn’s passion and enthusiasm for innovative grazing practices and his involvement in multiple agricultural groups. Finn, who operates Southern Cross Livestock, is an Alberta Beef Producers delegate, has been a mentor with the Cattlemen’s Young Leaders Program, and is currently mentoring with the Beef Cattle Research Council Researcher Mentorship Program.
