Lori Peacock receives Women in Agriculture award

The Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) announced its Women in Agriculture Award recipients. Lori Peacock, Client Services Representative at the Oyen Branch Office of AFSC, is one of the recipients.

Lori’s passion for AFSC’s clients is strong and comes from her own farming background. She shares that passion with her women colleagues and helps to inspire them to be advocates for themselves and their industry. During team meetings, she shares her own farming (crop and cattle) operations trials and helps the rest of the team look at things from the producer’s perspective. She supports her younger teammates with her knowledge and passion for farming and for producers.

Lori also contributes to the family’s multi-generational farming operation. She regularly shares the duties of the farming operation with her son and daughter. Lori is happiest when her weekends are full of tasks supporting those she loves with things like calving, seeding and harvest. Her excitement and passion for agriculture are contagious, and she is making the ag industry a better place for women.

AFSC is recognizing the women who make a difference in the agriculture industry with our Women in Ag Award. The annual award acknowledges and honours women’s passion, dedication, and commitment to agriculture and agribusiness in Alberta. It also celebrates the growing presence of women in this industry. Each year the award recognizes seven phenomenal individuals - four from anywhere in the province and three from within AFSC - who are improving this industry.
