DOUBLE DUTY
DARRELL NESBITT/MINNEDOSA TRIBUNE
Under bright sunshine and a temperature of 15°C, agricultural producers opted to get out to not only cultivate a stubble field, but also to implement anhydrous ammonia into the soil. Motorists on Highway 16 had a great view of farmers getting the job done on Friday, Oct. 24, including this gentleman working in the Basswood area. Taking advantage of the beautiful weather allows farmers to get ahead of the spring rush.
Heritage Co-op’s Fuel Good Day gives back with $1,800 donation to the Minnedosa & Area Food Bank

A tank of gas does more than simply power your vehicle; it can be a lifeline for people who may need support from the community, fueling not only our transportation but also providing essential supplies that brighten lives. With each fill-up, it brings hope and lifts spirits, fostering a sense of connection across the region.
Heritage Co-op’s annual Fuel Good Day, held Sept. 16, once again turned everyday fill-ups into a force for good, raising $11,700 for local causes, including a generous and much needed $1,800 donation to the Minnedosa & Area Food Bank. The event saw 10 cents from every litre of fuel and $1 from every coffee or Big Cool beverage sold at Heritage Co-op Gas Bars donated to charity. Seven local food banks and Westman Dreams for Kids were among this year’s beneficiaries. The Minnedosa & Area Food Bank plans to use the $1,800 donation to purchase essential food items for families in need. With groceries getting increasingly more expensive, Food Banks are seeing a surge in demand, so the timing has been critical.

Carol Brown, Treasurer of the Minnedosa & Area Food
says that the funds are much needed.
“We had a great day connecting with people from the community; so many came out to support the day,” said Brown.
