Growing grain: Museum visit!

The Garden Institute is coordinating a day trip to the BC Farm Machinery Museum in Ft. Langley next Friday April 3. “We will visit the equipment for planting, threshing, cleaning, harvesting seed and grain through a diversity of scale of field size needs.”

It’s $4/person payable to the museum.

“I need an email if someone’s joining us and it’s a great chance to have an introduction to what types of equipment one needs to consider when growing grain from the small plot to the field. A fellow interested in applying bicycle power to the equipment is joining us during the visit.”
