Our 2024 crop project raised $36,460.65.

This was our first attempt at doing the Roblin & Community Harvest Legacy Project, it was from an idea first floated by Tammy Leflar that we should use the Municipal Quater Section, 2 miles south of Roblin to benefit the community. There were 84 acres, and we grew a crop of canola this year.

The seed 45CM39 was donated by Pioneer Hi-Bred & Andres Stock and Seed. Misko Farms kindly seeded it on May 29th. The Parkway Consumers Coop and 360 Ag provided the agronomy advice which helped lead to a successful crop being grown. Fusion Credit Union donated the hail insurance through Northstar Insurance.

The Parkway Coop and Richardson's International gave a donation of $5,000 each towards inputs. Tim Mohr donated 1 pass with his sprayer to apply herbicides, and Hammond Agriculture Ltd also donated 1 pass with their sprayer to apply fungicides to the crop.

Mother Nature did the rest until harvest time.

On Friday, October 4th, under the watchful eye of Dale Rands combines and trucks assembled to harvest our first crop. Brian Buick came with a combine and truck; Curtis and Justus Johnson came with a combine and grain cart. Mark Leflar from Mazergroup brought out another combine. Blaine Harlow and Tim Mohr both provided semis and drivers. Viterra Roblin took the deliveries of canola and issued the cheque. Dione Cherneski and Richard Dereniwski brought coffee and doughnuts to the field. Ron Kozak was the straw boss.

Our 2025 wheat crop project raised $34,471.73, which will be going towards project upgrades at the swimming pool.

Harvest Legacy Project is currently seeking sponsorship and donations for the 2026 growing season, with all the profits from this year going to the same project (the pool).

We have the same 80 acres of crop land this year, rent free, and are now looking for donations to help cover the costs of this project. Canola will be the crop this coming growing season and the costs will consist of purchasing seed, fertilizer, chemical, insurance, fuel and other possible secondary expenses. Any product or service, or any portion thereof, that is provided for this project through donation or sponsorship will directly affect the profitability of this initiative and maximize the funds available for community projects

If you are interested in supporting our project, we have a few ways you can help

Option 1 – If you are interested in purchasing or donating crop inputs for this project, we are currently looking for seed, chemical and fertilizer donations. If any farmers or companies would like to support this project by purchasing or donating fertilizer or chemicals, they can contact Kiana Sajtos or Dwane Brook at the Co-op Agro (204-937-6402) for details.

Option 2 – If you are a farmer and are interested in donating time and/or equipment to help with the seeding, harvest, spraying, stone picking or field work, please contact Walter Hammond at 204-937-7678.

Option 3 – Sponsor an acre. As a sponsorship option we will offer sponsor an acre (or multiple acres) for which you can donate $100/acre sponsorship. Please contact Tammy Leflar at 204-937-0846 for more information

Option 4 – We are grateful for any donation towards this project and all funds donated will be used to help cover the costs and put money back into the community. If you are interested in making a financial donation, any amount is greatly appreciated. You can donate by either making a cash or cheque donation at the Municipal Office, payable to "Municipality of Roblin" with the memo of “Roblin & Community Harvest Legacy Project”.

This project is made possible due to the Municipality of Roblin’s generous donation of the rent-free land as well as the offer to handle the financial aspects and provide seed money to get the project started.

With continued support we hope this project can help our communities in areas that may benefit residents for years to come.
