We are deep into the Covid environment and that looks continuously different as we progress and continuously different depending on what part of the world you look at... Farming is much like that ! We get crazy weather here but our equipment and technology can mitigate some of the bad weather effects... places like Africa are getting crazy weather too but can adapt as much. The Conservation Farming we help people engage with on their farms has helped tremendously allowing crops to conserve the little moisture they get and keeping the soil where it is meant to be.. No with the PICS storage bags they are able to keep surplus grain and sell or use at a later time when its even more valuable... Covid is disrupting logistics in so many places making it even more important that we continue to help those farmers produce more on their own. The dignity and security of being able to provide for your own family has until recently in North America been taken for granted ... I will be connecting all the real Canadian farmers this spring with all of you Virtual farmers again to make a Difference for those families in Ethiopia who may be in the struggle of their lives this year... Grow with us in 2020 ! Ray the Grain Guy

April

Much of the snow had left in Manitoba and April 1 brought a no joke winters storm dumping 9 inches of fresh white snow on the fields ! Farmers trying to get ready for seeding in this new world were put on pause for a bit more... snow is moisture and moisture makes grain so we will take it ! Imagine our Canadian farmers picking up supplies from businesses where people won't even let them in the door getting the crop put in... well then take one more step and picture yourself as a farmer in a country of need that may be ravaged with loss from disease... lower chance of healthcare will create many issues for people that currently have little more than their health that enables them to plant their crop... Help us grow crops here in Canada this year so we can support others... We are blessed to bless others Ray the Grain Guy
