Harvesting Hope at the Manitoba Threshermen’s Reunion and Stampede near Austin, Mb drew participants and spectators from all over North America at the world-record threshing attempt.
The previous threshing record saw 111 threshing machines working together and was set by a group from St. Albert, Ontario last year.
Harvesting Hope had 139 threshing machines working at the same time for 15 consecutive minutes, although the official world-record nod has not yet been received when this article was written
Harvesting Hope raised money for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
Even though Ed White was on vacation he couldn’t help himself and he took the following video. He also tweeted out some great images, which you can see further down this page.
Here are a couple of videos of Harvesting Hope by the Manitoba Co-Operator:
