Lucknow Growing Project

The crop for this year’s Lucknow Growing Project has been harvested. The field, located on Hawkins Road near Dungannon, was planted with corn. Under sunny skies, Byrne Burgsma and Gerben Wynja took in the crop. The 18 acre field yielded 3013 bushels of grain corn (167 bushels/acre) which will be sold and then multiplied four-fold by the Canadian government. The funds will then be used by the Canadian Food Grains Bank to address poverty and hunger worldwide.
