2012 - Lentils Support United Church Food Projects

2012 was another difficult year, but we managed to generate about 1280 bushels of red lentils to be sold and donated to United Church projects overseas. The spring was very wet and breakdowns on our air seeder delayed seeding. Hail in the summer knocked about 20% of the lentils off the plant, but worse yet, it pushed the crop so low to the ground it was very difficult to harvest. The harvest weather was beautiful though, and in a difficult year we are happy to have anything in the bin.
