RELATIONSHIPS MATTER
Cultivating Success through Relationships in Agriculture
Together we will continue to nurture and grow our relationships. Building relationships is not just about short-term gains but about creating lasting partnerships that can span decades. These enduring connections are essential in an industry where consistency and reliability are crucial.
Programs, Events and Meetings
Reconnecting
KAP hosted a successful revival to the historic KAP Classic Golf Tournament, with nearly 100 participants and an appearance from Premier Heather Stefanson.
A key to success at the 15th Annual Golf Tournament were the farmers, partners, and government officials that came together. By fostering these connections, we united diverse stakeholders, creating a collaborative atmosphere that has continued to drive positive change and supports the agricultural sector's long-term growth and prosperity.
Together with our guest and partners we were able to donate $2,500.00 to the Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program.
Grassroots in Action
The KAP Advisory Council, comprising of grassroots delegates, serves as a vital forum for Manitoba farmers to inform organizational policy through virtual meetings. This platform not only empowers farmers to shape the future of agriculture but also provides a valuable opportunity for them and partners to stay informed about current issues and opportunities in the industry.
