All my life I was taught that Canada was the second biggest landmass in the world. Part of that knowledge also included the fact that the Canadian prairies were grain baskets for Canada, and also the world, but I had never experienced it firsthand. So, several years ago, as we drove to a new home in Manitoba, we decided to go through the north of the United States and then cut through Canada. We started the drive happy and excited with the new adventure. As we drove along the landscape changed and what we saw astonished us as we saw kilometres upon kilometres of grain fields with no end in sight.
