    Anyone know?

    Was wondering how one earth farms seeding progress was? Am thinking that if they are behind the 8-ball we might be getting some government attention.

    Absolutely. Do you think Paul Martin, former PM of Canada is going to put his money into something he won't get his money out of.

    He is probably already at the trough.

    It was sickening to watch him suck up to the natives when he was PM when all he was gunning for was the rights on their land.

    And people think what the government did to the indians was bad 100 years ago.

      One Earth Farms
      CAPE Fund L.P. Announces $3 Million Investment in One Earth Farms Corp.


      MONTREAL, January 22, 2009 – CAPE Fund L.P. (“CAPE Fund” or the ”Fund”) announced today that on December 23, 2009, it completed a $3 million investment in common shares of One Earth Farms Corp. (“One Earth Farms” or the “Company”) as part of a $15 million strategic financing. Other investors include Ag Growth International (TSX:AFN), a leading manufacturer of portable and stationary grain handling, storage and conditioning equipment and Alliance Grain Traders (TSX:AGT), the largest lentil and pea splitting company in the world. One Earth Farms is a subsidiary of Sprott Resource Corp., which founded the Company and which has been instrumental in facilitating the completion of the subject financing.

      One Earth Farms, working together with its First Nations’ and key strategic agricultural sector partners in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, intends to become Canada’s largest, most efficient operating farm. Combining professional management and access to large tracts of world-class farmland will allow the company to achieve significant economies of scale and position it well to benefit from global trends impacting the demand and supply for agricultural commodities. A key consideration of CAPE Fund’s investment is One Earth Farms’ commitment to initiate job training programs and provide employment opportunities to help teach sustainable farming practices to future generations of First Nations’ persons. In addition to capacity building, the partnership is structured so as to provide real potential to generate economic wealth for all participating First Nations.

      “This transaction, CAPE Fund’s first investment, will support a unique model for Aboriginal business, allowing First Nations to participate actively and with a strong degree of influence in helping to build a successful, world-class enterprise”, said the Right Honourable Paul Martin, Chairman of CAPE’s Investment Committee and a founder of the Fund.

      As part of the Fund’s investment, its Managing Director, Peter Forton, will be joining the board of directors of One Earth Farms. “CAPE Fund is extremely pleased to be an active part of this innovative model and we look forward to working with the Company and our First Nations’ partners to facilitate the training and participation, in a meaningful way, of First Nations groups and individuals as key productive assets in the future growth and success of the Company”, said Mr. Forton.
