Farmers are continually faced with the same challenges of nature: floods, droughts, insects, wind, and hail — one of the senators, perhaps Senator Gustafson, has referred to the hail that is known as the " white combine" that sweeps through Saskatchewan every year.
Les agriculteurs doivent sans cesse composer avec les aléas de la nature: inondations, sécheresses, insectes ravageurs, vent et grêle. C'est le sénateur Gustafson, je crois, qui a dit de la grêle qu'il s'agissait d'une sorte de «moissonneuse-batteuse blanche» qui, chaque année, fauche la Saskatchewan.
