Holman Farming Group took the lead on the subdivision crop fundraiser, which will greatly benefit the rink improvement project. The Town of Luseland donated land for community groups to use for fundraising. In the past, proceeds went to the swimming pool; this year, proceeds were designated for the Luseland Rink Improvement Project.

Many partners looked after the various components to make the project possible. Nutrien Luseland donated the fertilizer, Veikle Agro donated the canola seed, and FMC Katrina Martfeld (Aim) and Bayer (Pardner and Roundup) were additional partners.

Holman Farming Group seeded the canola crop and donated the burn of chemicals and agronomy services for the field. Profits from this venture will assist in the ongoing improvement projects at the rink, including foundation and structural repairs.

A big thank you to the Holman Farming Group and the project’s partners for a successful growing season and harvest of the first crop dedicated to the rink improvement project.
