Another successful harvest in the books for the CHUM project in support of the Canadian Food Grains Bank.

Volunteers turned out Friday to the field, donated by the Herman and Dorothy Penner family, north of Altona with 6 combines, about 7 trucks and 2 grain carts to take off 150 acres of soybeans.

Spokesperson Doug Dyck says CHUM - which stands for Communities Helping Undernourished Millions - truly is a community-led grow project with support spanning from Winkler to Emerson.

He adds the list includes farmers who donated time and equipment to care for the crop, as well as dealers who provided machinery and scouting, along with fertilizer and seed suppliers, and every day donors who helped offset input costs.

This year's crop turned out 35 bushels an acre and was sold to Cargill in Morris.

Profits gleaned from local grow projects are matched four-fold by the Government of Canada.
