Although Mercer’s show is based around comedy, he uses his platform to educate his audience about important issues, including where food comes from.</span><br style="white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; text-transform: none; color: rgb(0,0,0); font: 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: rgb(255,255,255); text-indent: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px" />

Anything I can do to help there, I’m very excited about,” said Mercer about his experience on the Banack farm.</span> </span></p>

That was well done - you never know what to expect from Rick

This was an excellent short feature on harvesting in Alberta and western Canada.

The family was very humble and accommodating to Rick and his crew. Hats off to the farmers, Rick, and CBC for a job well done.

Very positive spin

Good on Humphrey and the Bannock family for taking some time out of a very busy day to promote our industry.

Guess they don't "bag", with an open pile of wheat. Like the RMR cut in the crop.
