will be split between the Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan, the
Municipal District of Provost, Alta., and the Agriculture Producers of
New Brunswick. It is intended to offset freight costs for hauling hay

The Mennonite Central Committee and the Winnipeg Foundation will help
process the donation.
