Heritage Co-op is proud to support the next generation of agriculture leaders through the Excellence in Ag Program ๐ฑ
The program provides students with scholarship and internship opportunities that help support their education, build real-world experience, and create meaningful connections within the agribusiness industry.
Meet our current Excellence in Ag student, Jayce Thompson.
Jayce is currently studying Agronomy at the University of Manitoba and has always had a strong connection to agriculture, growing up on a farm and developing an interest in the science of crop production.
Through his experience with Heritage Co-op, Jayce has been able to expand that passion through hands-on field experience and practical learning opportunities in real-world agronomy settings.
โThe EIA has been super fun so far. It has not only helped me with my schooling but also has given me the opportunity to meet people in agriculture from around Canada that I would not have met otherwise.โ - Jayce Thompson
Weโre excited to be part of Jayceโs journey and proud to invest in the future of agriculture.
