The Canadian Foodgrains Bank held an information evening in Boissevain on April 15th.

2011 was not a great year for the local growing project.

Ben Martens a Boissevain area farmer says 2011 was the first time volunteers were unable to plant a crop.

Harold Penner with the Foodgrains Bank spoke to local sdupporters about the bank, its work around the world and how local efforts go a long way to helping the bank to emet its mandate.

The Boissevain-Morton-Whitewater project will be a field of 300 acres of canola on the Del Fraser farm near Fairfax.

The local growing project has raised more than $600,000 dollars for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank over the past 14 years.
