Caretakers of the Future
Prairies In Transition
Over half of our prairies will change hands in the next 10-15 years.
Demographic Shift
There are more farmers over 70 than under 35.
Urbanization
Canada's farm population has declined by 63% since 1960.
Plan?
92% of Canadian farms have no succession plan
By removing farmland from the speculative market, future young farmers are free from the huge debt load that currently prevents many from entering an agriculture-based livelihood.
Providing easier access to land to farming families will help re-populate rural areas and ensure the stability of population numbers needed to support local community services such as schools, hospitals and community support businesses (grocery stores, hardware, drugstores, etc.).
Sunrise Farm Coop is committed to caring for the future of our earth’s resources and our rural prairie communities.
If you’re a new farmer who’s trying to buy a piece of land and pay for it by working the land, it’s almost an impossible proposition.”
