Combine Harvest acres in minutes

 Farmers come together to reap in acres of oats. But these farmers had united   as they all shared the dream of making into the world of record. They came in   at Saskatchewan north of Dalmeny  which is about 25 Km  northwest of Saskatoon. It took 245 combines  12 minutes to reap 200 acres of  oats  which sets the world record for the most combines harvesting in a single field.

The proverb ‘Unity is Strength’ goes hand in hand with this record. In just less than half an hour  they reaped in acres of oats when they all worked together in the same field. The previous record of the most combine harvesters working simultaneously on a single field  was attempted 2 years back in 2010 was also set by Harvest 4 Kids.  However the 2010 record had only 200 combine harvesters unlike the present which counted to 245.

Children had free horse rides and families sat on rectangular hay bales watching a play about Saskatchewan's past as they waited for the main event.  A mile-long line of combines waited side by side at the end of swaths of cut oats, while a second line, half as long, faced them.  A path between the two opposing lines filled with spectators on foot, most ready to record the happening on cameras and cell-phones. Harvest for Kids Saskatchewan is an evangelical Christian fundraiser for children's Bible camps in developing countries. 

The Most combines harvesting   at once was set by Harvest 4 Kids at Saskatoon, Canada on October 16,2012.
