Jackets Create Shelter in the Sudan







On July 30 Hudye Soils and Hudye Farms once again presented one of the biggest Ag Days of the Prairies ...Field of Dreams ! This is an annual event at Norquay, Saskatchewan that shows all of the latest ways of growing bigger and better crops. Hudyes have been terrific supporters of Kernels of Hope and the CFGB through their Helping Feed the World initiative. I was able to give an update to the crowd on Kernels and the CFGB and the Sudan while promoting the purchase of Field of Dreams 2009 jackets... The Jackets were sold at $50 each and every penny of that went towards Kernels of Hope ! Farmers are often used to gettin free jackets at promotional events but 40 people spent $ 50 each that night ! That makes $2,000 ...If that is matched by CIDA at 4 to 1 that makes $10,000 for people in need ! Really amazing how it adds up...



There will be more later on the producers in the area that are donating the entire proceeds of 10 acres each to Kernels this year...
