Field of Dreams 2011





Field of Dreams at Norquay, Saskatchewan is a one day annual event display of field scale advances in crop production. With the world approaching 7 Billion people this year for the first time ever we need to explore better ways to produce more crop on less acres. Hudye Soils and Hudye Farms are on the leading edge of that type of farming... They are also on the leading edge of charity ! Their "Helping Feed the World " initiative has been a major contributor to Kernels of Hope and 2011 looks more promising than ever before !
