Re: Gleaning

I imagine that there are many people who would be interested to learn that

gleaning is happening in parts of the USA these days and provides a great

deal of food to people who need it. Bloggers and columnists, it could be a

great subject for you during the harvest and Thanksgiving season. -- Betty

Gleaning is alive and well in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The gleaners go

out and harvest, they keep a percentage and It's either 25% or 33% and the

remainder goes to the food bank.

Gleaning on an informal level is probably alive and well on many small and
subsidized farms. ... Unwilling to see that much waste, we
called a couple of immigrant centers and they sent people to harvest.
