Saskatchewan Group Seeks A Champion Of Agriculture

 
A farm group is looking to honour a champion of agriculture in Saskatchewan.
 
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan is accepting nominations for farmers or groups which promote Saskatchewan agriculture and help build consumer trust.
 
She says it is important for the farming community to tell its story to consumers.
 
With fewer people involved in agriculture, she says consumers are not aware of the care and attention which farmers put into placing safely-produced product on store shelves.
 
She says farmers have a great story to tell and Saskatchewan grows a lot of fantastic food, with 43 per-cent of Canada’s arable land.
 
Buettner says several nominations have already been received.

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
