Learn About Farming

 
Residents of Winnipeg will have a chance this weekend to find out more about where their food comes from.
 
The annual Ag in the City event is taking place Friday and Saturday at the Forks Market in downtown Winnipeg.
 
Agriculture in the Classroom Manitoba Executive Director Sue Clayton explains what the event is all about.
 
"It's aimed at the general public that have an interest in wanting to know more about how their food is produced, where their food comes from," she said. "Most of the commodity groups are represented there. There's eggs, turkey, fruit, canola, beef, pork, dairy, pulses. So all these different commodity groups will have a booth there."
 
The event is sponsored by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
