Jan. 16, 2014, Toronto, ON - Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture is a national, bilingual competition that gives participants an opportunity to share their opinions, ideas and concerns about the Canadian agri-food industry in a five- to seven-minute prepared speech. The competition is open to youth ages 11 to 24 with a passion for agriculture whether raised on a farm, in the country or in the city.

This year, Canadian Young Speakers for Agriculture public speaking competition topics for 2014 are:

• I am a Canadian farmer and this is my success story
• Why succession planning is crucial to the future of Canadian agriculture
• As stewards of the land can Canadian farmers do more?
