The Citizen, 2013-08-29, Page 21THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 2013. PAGE 21. Continued from page 15seed drill this spring. He greatly admires his boss,saying “my boss is second to none.”He says he was given a great
opportunity and decided to take it.
McGavin says the mountain view
from his job is something he loves.
“Words don’t do it justice,” he
says. “I do love to farm,” he
says, adding “it’s where I’ve been
raised.”
He has always been involved,
through family that farms and
McGavin Farm Equipment, in hisfamily’s business based in Walton.McGavin says competitiveplowing has been a major part of hislife for years. He has won numerous
championships over the years.
Currently he is the Alberta plowing
champion.
He says he is excited to represent
Alberta at the Canadian Plowing
Championships and compete against
his friends from Ontario in 2014.
His involvement with plowing is
also what originally sent him to
Alberta. He received twoscholarships to Olds College andsays that prompted him to attend thecollege. “I was definitely happy with the
program,” he says.
At the moment, he has not ruled
out coming home to Ontario and the
family business at some point. He
finds that financially, getting started
in agriculture in Alberta is more
feasible for a young person. He says
he would like to eventually get
involved in cash crop farming
himself, potentially sharecroppingwith his boss.“I’d like to give thanks to myfamily for getting me where I amtoday,” McGavin says. He really appreciates his entirefamily’s support as he’s pursuing acareer in agriculture and a long-terminvolvement with competitiveplowing.McGavin looks forward to sharecropping in Alberta
