complete their work in just over three hours. The banter over the radios was jovial and full of goodnatured jabs, mostly at two CFL team flags (Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos) waving off combines while in a field full of Calgary Stampeder fans. Children were on hand for tractor and combine rides and many locals set up lawn chairs and blankets to simply enjoy the beautiful day and the company. The day concluded with a feast held right on the field. What better way to start off a Thanksgiving weekend.

INDEX

The Canadian government also provides CFB with $25 million in matching financial support. This incredible group of people did not just donate their first ‘dry wheat’ day of the season to the project (Friday was the first day that local farmers could harvest their own wheat, which was finally dry) but also their equipment, including combines, trucks, tractors, quads, grain carts etc., and the fuel to run everything. The group, coordinated logistically by outgoing coordinator, Byron Richardson and interim coordinator, Jordan Webber, managed to have nine combines

The community of Brownfield held their annual harvest celebration on Friday, Oct. 9 on a field two miles north of Brownfield off Hwy #872. The harvest celebration is an annual event that has an entire community coming together to combine almost two quarters of land for the purpose of donating the bounty to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFB). This noble project was started 31 years ago by two local farmers, Art Cole and Clayton Richardson after having worked with three

groups of Mennonites in the Three Hills area. In 1976, amid growing world food emergencies, Mennonite Central Committee created a pilot project to allow Canadian grain farmers to share their harvests with those less fortunate around the world. In 1983, the project was reorganized, opened to other church agencies, and re-established as the CFB. The CFB is a partnership of 15 church and church-based agencies working together to end global hunger. In 2014-15, they helped 1.1 million people in 39 countries have enough to eat.
