Manitoba Farmers Busy Seeding For Foodgrains Bank

 
Manitoba farmers are seeding about 5,000 acres towards the Canadian Foodgrains Bank this year.
 
Regional Rep Gordon Janzen says that's similar to last year, totaling about 40 growing projects.
 
He's hoping the crop is a repeat of 2017.
 
"Last year was an excellent year. We had very good crops and good proceeds...it was actually a record year."
 
Janzen says the main crops being planted are wheat, canola and soybeans, adding much of the province could use some rain.
