A
15 acre field of soybeans planted just west of Harrow
was donated to the Canadian
Foodgrains Bank (CFB). This project was
inspired and initiated by Karl & Sandy Neudorf who
generously donated the land, time and equipment
for this project.
On Sunday, May 18, 2003 CFB Coordinator for Ontario, David Mayberry, shared with our congregation in worship about the significance of such a project. After a potluck lunch, the congregation headed to the project site for some brief words and a prayer of dedication.
Many people have generously donated products, time, equipment, and money. CFB hats are available from the church for a donation. Karl recently provided decorative stalks of wheat as a fundraiser as well.

On October 18, 2003, the soybean crop was harvested. A total of 543 bushels came from this field, which works out to be a crop worth about $5000. These beans were be donated to CFB along with over $1600 in cash donations.
