Into the unknown - first generation farmer Ryan Greir speaks about his passion for agriculture
I met Ryan Greir from Whispering Cedars Ranch while I was at the Olds College of Agriculture and Technology AgSmart event in early August.
Ryan and his wife Janna are first generation Alberta farmers originally from British Columbia. I walked impressed with how these two are embracing and engaging a lifestyle that's not for everyone but one that everyone depends on.
On their farm, Whispering Cedars Ranch, they strive to raise Alberta lamb and provide the industry with healthy and proven purebred replacement breeding stock. As entrepreneurs they're constantly looking for ways to diversify their income as they continue to grow sustainable farming in the province.
Sit back and settle in as Ryan sheds light on his experience and the joy he and his family derive from farming in Alberta.
