Politcians Out for a Ride on the Combine

A Saskatchewan farmer's open invitation to politicians to come for a ride on the combine had great response.

Kyle area farmer, Megz Reynolds, had the province's NDP Leader, Ryan Meili, the Premier Scott Moe, and even Foothills MP and the former Associate Ag Critic, John Barlow, out for a ride.

Reynolds says, she was inspired to do this by farmers in the UK and France, who were also inviting politicians out to their farm.
