Food Banks Canada and Second Harvest will receive up to $10 million in funding to further distribute to eligible food banks and not-for-profit community-based organizations to acquire and distribute food to families in need.

This harvest season, many producers across Canada are navigating rain delays, quality losses, and financial uncertainty. Five ways to navigate a season of loss and grief:
1) A difficult harvest is a real loss, and grief is a reasonable response.
2) Acknowledge the season before moving on
3) Talk to those around you about what's happening
4) Use your body as a guide for how you're doing.
5) Find understanding in shared experience
If you or someone you know needs support, find crisis lines, ag-informed counselling, and mental health resources at hubs.ly/Q04z5cjZ0

We don't usually talk about heterosis (hybrid vigor) with beans because it is very difficult to produce hybrids.
That said, here's em example of heterosis in lima beans. The aggressively growing vine with dark green leaves is a hybrid.
