[Growwine] Wind Knocks Down St. Catherine grapes

thank goodness for crop insurance which is cost shared by the Province. THese people will receive 80% of their expected gross income on these lost crops.

While we bash the government often, it is nice to stop and think about that fact that some of these tax dollars do come back to help us.

    what a shitty year in Ontario, yet I hear of drought south of us.
