Born in 1897 (d. 1971), Cruick- shank established the CKNX radio station in 1926. Known as the "Ontario Farm Station," CKNX began the first of a trial series of Farm Radio Forum programs in 1939, paving the way for the National Farm Fadio Forum program on CBC. Cruickshank was nominated by CKNX Broadcasting Limited. Others being honoured are James G. Cockshutt of Brantford, founder of the Cockshutt Plow Company, Frederick W. Cohoe of Burgessville, a proponent of high intensity pasture management, William Charles Good of Brantford, a noted farm leader and breeder of Holstein cattle, and J. Elgin Armstrong of Brampton, a Holstein and Standardbred breeder. The public is welcome to attend the unveiling ceremony at the museum June 7.
