I'm sure all of us who farm or garden know the importance of quality seed. Well what about no seed at all? Last fall when Hurricane Sandy brought torrential winds and up to 30 inches of rain through the mountains of Pays Pourri not only were gardens destroyed but it left many farmers with not even enough yield to replant, let alone to eat.
Well the people of Pays Pourri along with IFM want to give a huge thank you to Christian Aid Ministries (CAM) for providing over 2500lbs of native corn and sorghum seed for the farmers to replant.
IFM along with Pays Pourri's local agricultural group and district administrator distributed the seed to over 900 needy farmers across Pays Pourri. For most receiving seed was an unexpected blessing enabling them to plant in time for the spring rains.
We praise God for making such provision, using people like you, to help our brothers and sisters in need.
What a blessing to see that the seed are native, and not GMO from Monsanto. Do everything you can to keep your crops pure there.
ReplyDeleteIt actually took a bit of education to convince them that the corn seed was native because of the red treatment that was put on it. Haitian are very scared of strange seed. they live on too tight a string to take a risk. Two people that I know that received the seed actually mixed the treated corn seed with other native seed in case it was no good.
