BCWI 38th Triennial Convention June 2020
Below is information regarding our BCWI 38th Triennial Convention, June 2020. If you require this information emailed to you, please do not hesitate to contact Betty Bartlett at bcwi@bcwi.caAs I drove down a gravel road today, I saw this lonely combine sitting out in the field, in the cold, snow flakes falling. One thing for certain our farming community in this neck of the woods has had a ROUGH year for many reasons. This city girl has crazy respect for farmers and the farming families in our community. Since meeting Jeff and moving to Vulcan, these are things I now know that I think you should too:
- Farmers are the most hardworking people I know
- They are resilient and strong
- Farms really are technologically advanced, yes farmers use technology and have super cool gadgets
- They really do feed the world
- Farmers take a lot of heat in the media and online from misinformed and uneducated people
- Farming is a true family commitment, generations deep
- They really are obsessed with the weather, weather is not small talk like it is for most of us, it is their livelihood and can make or break a crop
- Even though we are in Canada rain is always measured in inches
- They define “community”
- Farmers take pride in what they do
- They are intelligent, I can’t even begin to understand the knowledge they hold
If you get a chance to speak with a farmer just say “thank you” I know they would appreciate it. #farming #feedtheworld #thankafarmer
