"You Can Be Anything" is a contest hosted annually by Barbie, where a handful of girls are selected and get to spend a day exploring their dream job.

For one lucky girl who lives on an acreage north of Assiniboia, that was a day in the life of a farmer.

7-year old Jillian Fehr lived out her dream on Tuesday at the Nagel farm near Mossbank, where she discovered all the different aspects it takes to run and maintain a farm in Southern Saskatchewan.

Her mentor, Cherilyn Nagel the International Director of the Global Farmer Network and member of Nagel farms, said she loved sharing her passion with Fehr.

"I really think that agriculture certainly is one of the most technological advanced industries," said Nagel. "It really does have something for everyone. So if we can encourage young kids and young girls who are thinking about what they want to be when they grow up. I love having the opportunity to expose them to agriculture and all that it has to offer."

Even though Fehr is still young, she's quite passionate about the industry already.

"I wanted to be a farmer because then I can grow my own food," explained Fehr.

Her mother Jolene also stated that her little girl enjoys producing fruits and vegetables. "She loves to help me in the garden, she's always very excited with whatever we grow, harvest and eat... she's proud of it."

Jolene added that despite living on acreage in a rural area, there was still many things her daughter had yet to see on a farm.

Nagel described her recent success with the Global Farmer Network and believes that the announcement of her new position was why she was chosen to partner up with a winner.

"They did a profile of me as the new International Director... and I think the You Can Be Anything program that was looking for a farmer to be a mentor happened to see that announcement. They gave me a call and I certainly welcomed the opportunity to be a mentor for a young girl who would consider agriculture as a career choice."

Fehr was able to take a ride on a combine, which was what she was looking forward to most, explored the equipment and even moisture levels on their grain.
