Although recent rain brought seeding to a temporary halt, local farmer Murray King was all smiles when he received a lunch delivery through Seed N Feed presented by Mack Auction Company.
King, who farms near Frobisher, said this year’s seeding got off to a strong start, with only a few minor mechanical issues before the rain hit.
“We had a good start to the season, besides a few little minor breakdowns,” he said. “I guess we could have probably been done before the rain, but I need four days, it'll dry up, and we’ll get ’er done.”
Despite the delay, King welcomed the moisture.
“It was dry enough. The rain was good,” he said. “Last year, Mother Nature kind of kicked our butts. She hailed us out real early. But oh well, that’s farming.”
King handles most of the day-to-day work himself, with help from his friend Leonard.
As part of the Seed N Feed promotion, King received lunch from Southern Plains Co-op, delivered straight to the farm.
F2 Farms and Vandenhurk Farms also received meals earlier this week as part of the celebration of hard-working farmers across southeastern Saskatchewan.
