Cool!

Having grown up on a farm and having attended summer camp all of my growing up years, I think this is a pretty cool story. This Guiness Book record-setting harvest occurred just outside of Winkler, Manitoba, and was reached using 105 combines to harvest 162 acres. The new record was set at 11 minutes 8 seconds. The entire harvest was completely donated to Children's Camps International, an organization that seeks to bring the message of hope into the lives of children across the globe through camping ministries.

We could change the saying just a little to "Many combines make light work" What a fun post
