b'Scott walks us through how United Farmers of Alberta Co-operative (UFA) was formed by farmers for farmers, who knew that they could accomplish more by working together. The co-operative evolved over the years, even forming the provincial government from 1921 to 1935, and today it is 120,000 members strong. Agriculture is constantly evolving, and the same holds true for UFA, over the years it has grown to include 34 Farm & Ranch Supply stores and 111 cardlock agencies, serving farmers and ranchers across the province and in parts of BC and Saskatchewan. Our agriculture sector is united by UFA and poised to be a leader - not just in Canada, but globally - leveraging their 110+ year expertise into Alberta\\u2019s future proof economy.'
