The Key to Hunger Reduction

Yesterday the  Van Heyst field  of wheat at Brandon was all popped out of the ground and lined up to serve !
      We know one of the keys for people in the projects we are assisting in Ethiopia starts right here in Canada by finding  real farmers to produce crops here and finding virtual farmers ( donors like you ) to pay for the production costs !     We are well on the way to getting both sides organized again !

   Seeding in the Prairies started slow but is going well most places with some farmers completely done in May !   Usually seeding in June you start to run the risk of lower yields and possibly getting frost damage in the fall  !     Quality and Quantity are both important !     The Van B's of the Melfort area got their Kernels canola seeded May 21.   Here are a couple of pictures !   Now that it's seeded they have to nurture it all spring and summer and fall  .... Anticipation continues ! Keep the crop and the Van Bs and the reason for the crop in your prayers especially this year when people in every country are struggling  !
