Ten-year-old Ryley Giesbrecht of Lil Ryley Farms has a whole patch of pumpkins from which to choose for his Halloween Jack-o-lantern.

Family-run Lil Ryley Farms (Adam, Kerri and Ryley Giesbrecht), located just east of Camrose on Highway 26, looks like a Norman Rockwell painting with the original early 1900 buildings still standing proud, a variety of animals spattered throughout the property, and a rosy-cheeked boy sitting amidst a pumpkin patch.

The farm featured a good old “pick your own pumpkin” event this year, along with their “U-Pick” vegetable gardens.

2021 Bull Congress cancelled Need a WETT inspection?

By Lori Larsen

The uncertainty of COVID-19 is still impacting popular events, as the Camrose Regional Exhibition (CRE) announces the cancellation of 2021 Canadian Bull Congress (CBC).

The CRE board of directors were disappointed to have to make the announcement, but are pleased to say

the very popular event will return January 22nd and 23rd in 2022.

“CRE, like all agriculture societies in Alberta, has had a challenging year with many tough decisions.

The impacts of dealing with COVID and the loss of all income for seven months (and counting) unfortunately means we need to make

“It has been a brutal year for agriculture events with all major shows cancelling from Agribition to Agri-Trade and summer fairs. As with farming, agriculture shows follow the same philosophy… there is always next year.”

Schneider said the School Education Program will still go on in a virtual format and they are planning to launch a new MEATNANZA “Meat Draw” to keep CBC alive during that week in January 2021.

Recycling farm plastic is very important

By Murray Green

Recovering and recycling plastic used on farms will continue this fall, providing more Canadian farmers with opportunities to manage waste.

A project funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Canadian Agricultural Strategic Priorities Program (CASPP) has been developed and is being executed by Cleanfarms, the national, nonprofit industry stewardship organization that has programs in place across Canada to recover and manage nonorganic farm waste, most of it plastic, for recycling or environmentally responsible disposal.

Entitled Building a Zero-Plastic Waste Strategy for Agriculture, the project has three objectives: to build consensus on the appropriate management of non-organic agricultural waste; to survey farmers to establish current patterns of disposal before and after pilots and education programs; and to demonstrate best practices in ag waste management through

pilot programs conducted throughout Canada.

“Our farmers care about the environment, and through investments like this, the government is supporting our farmers in the fight against climate change,” said MarieClaude Bibeau, Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “We are committed to helping farmers become global leaders in sustainable agriculture and be a part of the climate solution by investing in innovative initiatives that promote environmentallybeneficial practices.”

“We know farmers want more opportunities to manage agricultural waste materials in an environmentally responsible manner,” said Cleanfarms executive director Barry Friesen. “This project will identify additional options for farmers and agricultural suppliers to incorporate sustainability practices more broadly in their daily operations. In today’s economy, with the emphasis on sustainability and circular thinking,

we have a responsibility and a great opportunity right across this country to improve recovery and recycling numbers.”

Canadian agriculture currently uses about 40,000 tonnes of plastics annually in the process of growing crops and raising livestock, most of it in plastic containers, grain bags, twine and bale/silage film.

Though plastic is essential throughout the farming industry, managing the end-of-life cycle of plastics is a big challenge that requires forward-thinking solutions.

across Canada, the best known of which collects small plastic containers that are 23 litres and under for recycling. In 2019, farmers returned 5.5 million containers, bringing the total number returned since the program began 30 years ago to 131.5 million. The containers are recycled into new agricultural products such as tile drainage pipes.

Other Cleanfarms programs include a national program to collect nondeposit bulk pesticide totes and drums; a national program to collect and properly dispose of unwanted agricultural pesticides

and old, obsolete livestock/ equine medications; grain bag recycling under a provincially-regulated program in Saskatchewan and pilot programs in Manitoba and Alberta; and seed and pesticide bag collection with the addition of fertilizer bags in Quebec.

Together, these programs collect about 5,000 tonnes of agricultural plastics for recycling each year, and that number is growing rapidly with the more recent addition of grain bag collection programs. Still, there remains an opportunity to do even more.

“Dairy farmers are leaders in sustainable agriculture and have a vested interest in protecting our environment and preserving our natural resources,” said Pierre Lampron, president, Dairy Farmers of Canada. “Cleanfarms’ initiatives provide muchneeded options for proper end-of-life cycle management of agricultural plastics, and dairy farmers are excited to see this project take root.”

Alberta Century farms recognized Submitted Accepting the Alberta Century Farm and Ranch Award on behalf of the original founders Elva and George Lawson are third and fourth generations.

Pictured left to right are Roger Cust, Kim Harboway, Karen Poole, Cathy Kampjes, Dennis Lawson, Wes Lawson, Cheryl Lawson, Karen Yamniuk, Verna Stainphorp (Lawson) and Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely, presenting.

Lawson family farm chickens, horses and grain.

“The horses were George’s ‘power force’ of that time, used for breaking up the soil,” added Wes. While tending the farm and six children kept Elva and George very busy, George still managed to find time for his life passion of hunting.

In the ’30s, Martin took over the farming operations and on March 4, 1938, married Janet Brown. “Together, the couple farmed the land as mixed farmers, increasing the pig and cattle operation,” recalled Wes. “Martin bought a pulltype combine in 1941, which was one of the first in the Tof ield area. It was a 36 -inch straight cut,” explained Wes. “Today’s combines are much larger, up to 35 feet.

He also bought a Farmall A Submitted in 1941.

“Dennis and I farmed operation that included pigs, cattle, milk cows, with Martin for years,”

By Lori Larsen

The Lawson family has been tending to the farm for over 100 years, and four generations later, they are still going strong.

In 1914, Elva and George Lawson, along with their six children, Herman, Milford, Martin, Mabel, Mildred and Edna, moved by train from New Northrop, Michigan to Tofield.

They arrived at the Bardo Station in June 1914, and soon after purchased the two-quarter section farmstead, located four miles south of Tofield, from Edward Kallal and Charles Kallal, and quickly began construction on the house and barn.

noted Wes. “In the 1950s, Hesston Stackers and round balers made haying much easier. At one time, it would take 10 to 12 people to harvest or hay, whereas now, all it takes is two people.”

Like so many things in life, advanced machinery and technology has improved the way things are done.

On March 12, 1968, Martin passed away, and Janet passed away on Jan. 21, 1997, leaving the operation of the farm in the hands of Wesley, Dennis and Verna.

The farming family has since ceased the pig operation, and is currently managing mainly commercial cattle breeding.

“Horses are still used occasionally for rounding up cattle, but quads tend to be used more these days,” said Wes. “We now grow grazing corn and silage corn for the cattle to eat. When we started this corn practice 10 to 12 years ago, it was an innovative idea for this area.

Wes proudly adds that both Scott and Mark, having grown up on the farm as the fourth generation, still have a very supportive interest in the farm.

In today’s world of technology, uncertain weather conditions, fluctuating pricing and competition with larger farming corporations, keeping the family farm going is a challenge for sure and something we all have come to appreciate. They are, after all, the bread and butter of the world.

Wenstob family farm

By Lori Larsen

A century of farming is a feat to be celebrated and speaks highly of the loyalty many Alberta farm families have to not only the homestead, but the noble and vital work of farming.

For the Wenstob family, the farmstead, located just north of Strome and south of Bruce, has been in the family for four generations.

Olaus Wenstob (originally Olsen) arrived in the Camrose area from Venstøp, Norway in 1903.

His wife, Marie, came a few months later with their three children, Oscar, Paul and Anna.

After arriving in Canada, Olaus and Marie had seven more children: Olaf, Otto, Henry, Hjalmer, Stella, Bertha and Eddie.

After Olaus passed away, the homestead quarter was left to Olaus and Marie’s youngest child, Hjalmer.

“Their oldest son Oscar and his wife Esther settled on a nearby quarter and their children, Jean and Norman (Amy’s father-inlaw), grew up on that neighbouring quarter,” said Amy. Since Hjalmer’s passing, the homestead quarter has been farmed by his nephew Norman (Olaus’s grandson) and great-neph-

Submitted Oscar, eldest son to Olaus and Marie Wenstob, holds his son Norman as they ready a five-horse power “plow”.

“When they arrived here, they discovered there were multiple Olsen families in the area, so they took the last name Wenstob, an anglicized version of their town of origin,” explained Amy Wenstob (g reat-g randaughter-inlaw to Olaus and Marie.

Olaus worked at a blacksmith shop in Camrose prior to applying for their homestead in 1905.

Originally, the farm operation consisted of mixed farming with grain and pasture for livestock.

ew Allan (Olaus’s greatgrandson).

In 1975, the farm registered their first purebred Angus cattle and is currently farmed as a mixed quarter with some grain and some pasture.

The present generations are tolling hard to continue the fruits of Olaus and Marie’s labour. “No one has lived on the homestead quarter since Hjalmer’s passing,” noted Amy, however the family that is still farming live nearby.

Kurek named to safety committee

By Murray Green

Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot, Damien Kurek, has been named to the standing committee on Public Safety and National Security.

“I am very excited to work on this committee and to address the issues impacting Battle RiverCrowfoot and the concerns affecting rural Albertans,” Kurek said.

“In addition to the Public Safety and law enforcement oversight role the committee plays, there are a number of issues that will be a priority in the coming weeks and months, including rural crime, the Liberal gun grab and issues at our borders.”

Kurek is eager to work with the shadow minister for Public Safety and Emergency Prepared-

ness, Shannon Stubbs, to address the risks of foreign influence in Canada and the smuggling of illegal weapons at the border.

“I am looking forward to working with MP Kurek to address and examine safety issues that affect all Canadians; from the firearms ban, border security, and first responders, including rural crime which hits home for each of us as

representatives of rural ridings,” said Stubbs.

Canada’s Conservatives will stand with Canadians, propose common-sense solutions to the challenges we face, stand up for the rights of all Canadians, and ensure border issues are addressed responsibly.

Life on the old farm

By Lori Larsen

Growing up amidst a pumpkin patch, a flock of hungry hens and some of the cutest little animals is not all that bad according to 10-year-old Ryley Giesbrecht, who lives happily with parents Kerri and Adam on Lil Ryley Farms, just east of Camrose.

The family recently acquired the farmstead where they live and have slowly transformed into a local country business that specializes in homegrown food.

A tour around the farm with Kerri and Ryley quickly submerges a person into the long, rich history of farming families of Alberta.

The homestead still consists of the original 1902 single-room house, 1914 pig barn, 1915 red hip roof barn and the incredible 1917 house, all looking like they will continue to stand the test of time. They were truly built to last.

Adam grew up on a farm in southern Manitoba, eventually moving with his family to Alberta when he was nine years old. He has built skill sets over a variety of occupations that he continues to use on the farm.

She may have been born and raised in the city, but it didn’t take much for Kerri to convert to the joys of country living. Her previous experience working in an office is a definite asset, but she prefers to spend her time out with the animals, tending three acres of gardens and driving the beautifully restored older model tractors around the farm.

Then there is Ryley.

A delightful 10-year-old who, by his own admission, would far rather be a farmer than a model, in reference to his photo

After completing most of his daily chores, he posed for some photos and tagged along on the tour.

His already vast knowledge of all things farm is not wasted as he joyfully explained the workings on the farm.

“A lot of kids might think that the machinery is really scary, but once you get used to using it, it’s not even that bad.”

He is quick to add that his parents make sure he is well versed in farm safety.

Sitting amidst the ripening pumpkin patch after a frosty morning

that turned the foliage brown, Ryley also pointed out how bees will cross pollinate pumpkin flowers with the squash flowers, creating an all new food.

A trip over to the family lambs meant a treat for the furry little friends, a little one-on-one time and a few giggles as a little lamb gently nibbled pellets out of Ryley’s hand.

Then Ryley hopped up onto “his” tractor to demonstrate his previous conviction that driving one is really not all that hard, actually kind of fun.

Nearing the end of the tour, Ryley toyed with mom Kerri’s soft side

with the mention of wanting a horse for the farm.

But, the response to this very well-raised boy was, “First you have to prove you can be responsible for one, and of course earn the money.”

Wise words from any parent.

On a final note, when asked what Ryley thought of living on the farm, there was little to no hesitation.

“I would way rather grow up on a farm.”

And after only an hour of experiencing a bit of life on the farm, one has to wonder, who wouldn’t?

a

Experience design. Browning has over 50 years of experience with bolt-action high-powered rifles. Today’s X-Bolt rifle inherits the strongest, most noteworthy features of its predecessors. The X-Bolt White Gold model has a Monte Carlo stock. This feature is recognized as the comb steps sharply down toward the heel of the buttstock, allowing more contact between the recoil pad of the stock and the shooter’s shoulder. With this design, the recoil of the fired shell comes directly back or in line with the stronger part of the inner shoulder, making the rifle more pleasant to shoot, especially when a long day at the range is expected.

Beautiful? Yes! It is okay for some guns to be referred to as “beautiful” even though it is still a hard working hunting tool.

The X-Bolt White Gold is beautifully adorned with a polished stainless steel receiver that is drilled and tapped for scope mounts with engravings on both the front and rear. This rifle also has a polished stainless steel barrel.

Its stock is a glossfinished, finely checkered with a rosewood fore-end and grip cap.

RCMP encourage public tips

By Lori Larsen

On Oct. 7 at approximately 9:45 a.m., Camrose RCMP were called to an address near 1st Avenue in New Norway on a report of unknown male suspects entering into a residence threatening and assaulting one of the occupants. The suspects were both dressed in dark colour clothing and wearing masks. They left the scene of the incident southbound from the area of 1st Avenue.

The victim was transported to the hospital with undetermined injuries.

The RCMP investigation is continuing.

On Oct. 6 at approximately 3 a.m., Camrose

RCMP were called upon to investigate a possible Break and Enter that took place at the Bawlf Post Office.

RCMP investigation revealed that the door to the building was forced open.

Once inside, suspect(s) stole several items including laptop computers, scanners, several pieces of mail and various parcels.

In a separate incident on Oct. 6, Camrose RCMP were called to investigate a possible Break and Enter to a cell phone tower in the Miquelon Lake area. Suspects forced their way into the logistics building and stole several large orange deep cycle batteries. These

batteries are very distinct in their colour, numbering and potential offsite usage.

RCMP are asking for assistance from the public with CCTV, vehicle CCTV or any information to assist in this investigation.

If you have any information in relation to any of these incidents or other suspicious activity, contact the Camrose RCMP at 780-672-3342. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), online at www.P3Tips.com, or by using the “P3 Tips” app available through the Apple App store or Google Play store.
