The Canadian Foodgrains Bank is a “Christian Response to Hunger” worldwide and farmers in the local area do their best to plant, nurture and harvest crops to support the international initiative to feed people in need in third world countries.
On Aug. 15, Lorne Underwood (with grandson Jackson Underwood) drove a tractor that pulled the grain buggy, while his son Jeremy Underwood combined the crop of barley from the property tucked in behind Jamesway Manor in Clifford.
The grain buggy was taken to the farm of Arthena and Ken Underwood, where a truck driven by Brian Merkley took the barley to Hensall Co-op in Kurtzville.
The Clifford-Oakville growing project has operated for several years, growing a variety of crops including pumpkins. They are thankful for the donations of land, seed, planting, fertilizer, and harvesting for each and every crop.
