One of Alberta’s oldest farm women’s organizations decides its fate June 14.
Women of Unifarm will decide whether to disband the 85-year-old organization after this year’s meeting in Wainwright.
The group began as the United Farm Women of Alberta, then changed its name to Farm Women’s Union of Alberta in 1949. Women of Unifarm evolved in 1971.
Aging members and more women working off the farm have resulted in a steady decline in membership numbers. When Unifarm disbanded and became Wild Rose Agricultural Producers, the women decided to continue as a separate organization.
The meeting will be held at the Springs Motor Inn in Wainwright. For further information contact Women of Unifarm at 800-361-8572.
