The BMO Celebrating Women In Agriculture Award was handed out during Canadian Western Agribition.

This year's honoree is Beef Advocate Sherry Grant.

Grant is passionate about consumer advocacy and agricultural education.

She  was involved in Agribition's Agri-Ed program for years, co-wrote a children's book called, Where Beef Comes From and developed the website beef education.ca.

She shares stories and photos about agriculture on the Grant Ranch blog and social media and is a dedicated conservationist.

Grant says she's very honored, noting that there are so many women in agriculture who are contributing and who are just as deserving.

Grant and her husband Lynn operate Grant Ranch near Val Marie.
