An Alberta farmer has been named the new president of the Prairie Oat Growers Association (POGA).
Brad Boettger is a fourth-generation farmer from the Tofield/Ryley area that grows a variety of crops including oats, barley, wheat, fall rye, peas, faba beans, and canola.
“I am pleased to accept the President position for POGA,” Boettger said in a news release. “I want to sincerely thank our outgoing President, Jenneth Johanson, for her tireless leadership and dedication to representing oat growers across Western Canada.”
