A local philanthropy group is trying to raise $10,000 in order to make their school a better place.  The group is part of the Brokenhead River Community Foundation.  In this, their 4th year, they seeded a crop of red spring wheat with donations from local agricultural businesses.  Spokesperson Randy Bialek says it's a beautiful crop and will be ready to harvest in about 2 weeks.  The group is hoping to raise $10,000 and will use the interest from that money towards projects at the local school.  Bialek says this is the only philanthropy group in Canada combining youth with agriculture.
