Original Toronto Star caption: Wheat farmer Joseph Rennick glumly stalks snow-covered railway track running alongside elevators bursting with grain that no one wants to buy. After 38 years of farming in Saskatchewan; Rennick is now facing financial crisis. He defied bleaching sun and raging storms to raise prize crops on his 1;280-acre farm-only to be left with $50;000 worth of wheat and no money. Ottawa must help now; he says.
