2016 Crops have been planned and are going in at a fast rate. Many producers in the Prairies have seeded their wheat already. Wheat can be seeded deeper to get to the moisture and it doesn't mind a little cold weather when it breaks through the soil and starts reaching for the sky ! Canola is slowly being seeded... its such a small seed it only wants to be seeded 1/2 an inch deep and a timely rain is the best thing ever for it to get it started. It doesn't like frost though and last spring many acres has to be seeded again when the frost killed the first canola plants.
You can once again help us farm to help people in DR Congo to help feed themselves. I will put the project details up soon. We are still suggesting Virtual Farmers can pay the expenses of raising an acre of crop by donating about $200 Cheques can be made to ECCC with Kernels in the note line and mailed to the ECCC office. You can also go to the ECCC website and donate online.
This whole project doesnt happen without our real farmers who have the land and equipment and heart to help others ! 2 new farms this year are Jim and Sandy Borley of Rapid City, Manitoba and The Tomonikos of Neepawa, Mb, Welcome ! We also know for sure that Ron Vanheyst and Earl of VR Farms are growing again right by # 10 highway near my elevator at Brandon, Tim and Heidi Penner of Justice are putting 10 acres of Invigor canola in for Kernels and Gerald and Darla VanBurgsten of Kinistino, Saskatchewan are in with 50 acres of canola ! I'm waiting for confirmation on some other real farmers... it seems they are very busy this time of year... It's all coming together again... Once it does come together we will again have the proceeds multiplied by the Federal Government branch Global Affairs... Partnerships and Connections that add up to one word, Hope. Thankyou for providing that word to so many !
Gotta run !
