KERNELS OF HOPE update

Here is a update from Ray Baloun, the man who got our KERNELS OF HOPE project off the ground:

Hello Fellow Farmers!

Things are going very well on our Kernels of Hope Farms this year. All the crops were seeded in a timely fashion and are well established now. I was in Norquay June 3 and have attached some pictures from Rock and Nicoles field. It is healthy! All the fields are just at the stage that they will or have just been sprayed for weed control if needed. Alberta was a little dry earlier but that generally is good for a crop because it makes the roots develop more by them growing to search out moisture which then can help them withstand dry weather that much easier later in life. I am pretty sure there could be a comparison to people in the same way!

We have had great participation again this year. We targeted 120 acres. That is a lot of sponsorship commitment! We were under 100 acres for a long time... Now Ladies and Gentlemen we are at approximately 144 acres ! We have farmers from Ontario to BC as well as Kansas and Oregon this year. We'll work out some projections on yields and possible returns later but if this crop turns out as good as it looks now we have huge potential to be helping many, many people in Liberia this year. We will announce a Crop Prayer Walk day later that we will encourage all our farmers to take part in where ever they are. In the mean time do pray for the crops and the people they will help!

Till next time! (There's that farming word again)
