Wish I had just 50 of those machines helping me cut down rice. Great cause.

We actually raised $250,000! With a 4:1 match from CIDA, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank gets $1,250,000 for food aid and hunger relief. This is enough to feed 48,000 families for a year! Thanks for the help. Nobody has harvested 160 acres of soys, or standing crop this fast. 11 min 43 sec
