Normally when I write this column, I have to struggle and think of what I want to say.  Today, this is not the case.  I know what I have to say and write, but the words are still hard to come by, and I am certainly having a bit of trouble putting them on the computer screen.

 

Just an hour or so ago, I was informed that my good friend, and a great friend of all agricultural producers in Canada, Paul Beingessner, was fatally injured this afternoon in a farm accident.

Paul Beingessner

The World Food Program, an agency of the United Nations, announced last week that the number of hungry people in the world rose this year to over one billion. It is a startling number. It says that, though the world continues to grow richer in many senses and for many people, it is growing poorer at supplying more of its citizens with food. This is not the way it was supposed to be, not the way it was from 1990 to 2005. In that time period, poverty (extreme poverty) in developing countries fell steadily. Around 2005, this reversed, and poverty, and with it hunger, began to rise again. This has continued unabated.

Greenwater Report

Highway 41 is sure nice. Re-surfacing is just about complete on a long stretch east of Wakaw; there is a short stretch of older surface that is a bit rough, but then another long stretch of quite new surface. That highway is about twenty years old; it really shortened the distance from Tisdale and Melfort to Saskatoon and has seen a lot of traffic, but it broke up badly when still quite new. I suspect it has been re-surfaced, and in some cases rebuilt, several times since then; let’s hope this new job stands up better. Right now, it’s a joy to travel on.

Qu'Appelle Calling

He doesn't miss too many notes, but thing is, they aren't usually the RIGHT ones. To say the blend of voices is eclectic may be the politest thing that one can come up with. Usually at 5:30 am there is at least one human shouting out the window to SHUSH UP.
