We had fun doing this yesterday!
Cheers, Dad

In May our committee approved a special project to grow a crop of soy beans on a 25 acre field in West Carleton. The proceeds of this project will go to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFB). The mission of the CFB is to end global hunger (see http://foodgrainsbank.ca/mission.aspx), and there are more than 250 partnerships like ours across Canada supporting the CFB with similar growing projects. The project entails many tasks: locating a field, purchasing the seed, fertilizer and weed spray, working the land, harvesting the crop, erecting a project sign, and hosting commissioning and celebration events. Already groups of woodworkers and painters are busy on the project sign, and no doubt others will offer to help with the hosting of a celebration harvest event in the fall!
