NAEDA’s Equipment Dealers Foundation Prepared to Assist Texas Flood Victims

The Equipment Dealers Foundation (EDF), the charitable arm of the North American Equipment Dealers Assn. is prepared to assist dealership employees who may have been impacted by the recent disastrous flooding in Texas. NAEDA’s foundation created the disaster relief program following the devastation from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Since then, EDF has provided grants to equipment dealers and their employees in disaster areas for losses not covered by insurance and property damaged or destroyed.

The fund is designed to help offset some of the financial demands faced by those affected by the disaster. Grants from the fund may be used for food, living expenses, temporary accommodation, home repair, home replacement, permanent home construction, transportation accommodation, and other approved needs.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
