Helping Feed the World in 2010

We make your concerns our business.

Will there be enough food to feed the global population in the years to come? Are our crops resilient enough to face ever-changing weather patterns? Are producers doing enough to address and prevent world hunger?

Yes. We are. Every day we work hard to maximize yields and productivity to help ensure future generations all over the world will have enough to eat. Producers like our customers and ourselves are eager to rise to the challenge and incorporate all available technology in order to grow more abundant and viable crops.

Here’s how we and producers like us are Helping to Feed the World in 2011:  

OVER $ 149,900.00 DONATION BY SIX NORQUAY, SASKATCHEWAN AREA PRODUCERS TO "HELPING FEED THE WORLD"!

On Thursday, December 23, 2010 six local producers presented a cheque to the “Kernels of Hope” Program
in the amount of $ 29,980. “Kernels of Hope” is affiliated with Canadian Food Grains Bank and donations
to it result in a matching donation of four dollars to every one dollar by the Canadian International
Development Agency.

This resulted in a total donation of $ 149,900, reported Fallon Hudye of Hudye Soil Services Inc. of Norquay, Saskatchewan. The amount generated is to be directed into programs that provide food for those in dire need
and for the purchase of seed and tools to help farms in Southern Sudan, Africa, said Ray Baloun of Minnedosa, Manitoba who began the Kernels of Hope Program in Norquay, Saskatchewan six years ago.

Krywy Farms, Leis Farms, Ferris & Lindgren Farms, Feland Farms, Steven & Donna Toffan (Lakeside Farms) and Hudye Farms stepped up to the plate and participated in the initiative organized by Hudye Soil Services Inc. to have each producer donate 10 acres of a crop of their choice to the project. The hope of the initiative is to potentially “snow ball” into many more acres in the future in recognition of the efforts put forth by the farming community to “Helping Feed the World”.

In these times when concerns are raised about the ability to produce enough food for a growing global population, producers are eager to rise to the challenge, incorporating all available research to produce more. It is necessary to maximize yields and productivity to meet the increasing demands for food. “The donation to Sudan provides hope to those who often have none”, Baloun said. World news has never before highlighted the problems of hunger and access to food as much as it is now being done and everyone which is contributing in this way is making a difference at a time when it is so important. A difference is being made around the world from right here in Norquay, Saskatchewan, Canada, Baloun said.
