Ken and Sherry Drysdale and family are the 2023 County of Grande Prairie Farm Family of the Year.
They farm 4,500 acres of grains and oilseed along with grass seed near Highway 43X, northwest of Grande Prairie.
The county says in a news release that the family’s community involvement includes supporting 4-H clubs, the Evergreen Park Agricultural Society, curling rinks, Rotary clubs, and the Sexsmith Heritage Society.
They also grew 80 acres of sunflowers last summer with the money raised from selling the crop as birdseed going to help families fleeing the war in Ukraine to settle in the Peace Country.
