A different kind of farming: the organic choice By Sandra Dancey

Close-up of the grain (spelt) before it goes into the ground.

Shaun Dancey farms organically at Star City. One of the crops he grows is spelt, a popular, gluten-free grain alternative for people who are intolerant to wheat. Here he is holding a bowl of organic spelt seeds, prior to seeding.

Around Tisdale, organic farmers are part of the “Norm�. . . Norm Bromm, that is, along with Joan, better known to her friends as Joanie. The Bromms started farming in 1974 and were all organic by 1982, way ahead of the trend of most organic farmers, and they continue to be leaders in organic farming in the Northeast. Like many farmers here, they seed wheat, oats, barley, and flax, but they also do sunflowers and spelt, one of the oldest grains known. This particular version is Bavarian Spelt, and, like wheat, needs a long growing season. It was developed by the University of Saskatchewan to grow in our colder clime. People who have developed an intolerance to the gluten of modern-day wheat can often use spelt as an alternative. Its high water-solubility means it gets absorbed into the body quickly without the same “digestive effort� wheat flour takes, and it has more protein, fibre, good carbs and lots of Vitamin B17. Along with the obvious health benefits and

therefore increased marketability of spelt, it is a crop that responds well to extreme weather conditions and does fine without fertilizer or the application of herbicides, pesticides or fungicide, all of which organic farmers cannot use. In Tisdale, organic farming is becoming more prevalent all the time, and the Bromms deserve full credit for encouraging it and helping those starting out with advice on what grows better in this part of the province. Shaun and Allan Dancey also farm organically south of Star City, growing crops very similar to the Bromms- spelt, hard red wheat, barley, peas and faba beans. The faba beans will “probably get worked in for “nitrogen fixing� in the soil,� Shaun says, a good thing for organic farmers to do as it takes the place of applying fertilizer. Like at the Bromms, spelt is seeded the earliest, due to its longer growing season (it often is one of the last harvested as well). The Danceys have been organic since 1998, and learned in part from the Bromms, to “be prepared, you’ll have to disc under a lot more crop than you would have imagined, and he was correct.� In spite of the stress most farmers have dealt with in switching over to organic, the Danceys have maintained a positive outlook and are feeling confident about their farming careers and the upcoming season. As he was filling the seeder with spelt, Shaun pointed out, “it seems like we’re in a drier cycle, making it exciting for seeding this spring.� Here’s hoping that holds true for all the farmers around here. The world wouldn’t survive without you.

Supplement to the East Central Trader & Parkland Review

The Jansen Family Farm Submitted by Delwyn Jansen After discussing the Dominion of Canada advertisements for homsteaders Gerhard Jansen and his friend, Adam Hufnagel, decided to take a look. In May, 1903 they left Hammond, Indiana by rail for Rosthern, District of Saskatchewan. In Rosthern Gerhard say the familiar face of Matt Bartholet whom he met in Wien, Missouri in 1889. The three men decided to travel to St. Peter’s Colony seeking homesteads. By late May the three men and Matt’s two sons left Rosthern on foot and arrived in township 35-19 W2nd in July. The area reminded Gerhard of his childhood home in Germany so he selected the NE 10. Adam selected NE 16 and Matt the NW 12. Gerhard building his 10x12 foot sod house. In August the A.F. Martin led Dominion Lands Survey crew was resurveying township 35-19W2nd. With Gerhard’s permission they used his sod house site for their main camp. One evening Mr. Martin asked Gerhard: “What is your name?” “Gerhard Jansen” was the reply. Mr.Martin stated: “In recognition of your hospitality I am naming the lake to the southwest “JANSEN LAKE”.” With no supplies the men returned to Hammond for the winter. The homesteaders returned in May, 1904. Each man had a team of oxen or horses and a wagon loaded with their essentials. In 1904 Gerhard broke 20 acres. In the spring of 1905 he broke an additional 30 acres plus built a log house with a sod roof. Many years later his wife commented about that house: “It had two rooms. One had a wood floor and the

Heavenly Blue Honeysuckle Orchards ltd Specialty Berry Farm

other was bare soil. During the rain we covered the furniture and after the rain we moved everything outside as the rain would now come through the sod roof.” In 1914 Gerhard hired a neighbor, John Gierl, who had excellent carpentry ability to build a two story wood house. The lumber was bought

and hauled from Englefeld. The house is 100 years old this year. It was heated by a central wood furnace which was replaced with an oil furnace in the early 1960s. During the 111 years since Gerhard’s arrival the weather has always been very important. A killing frost on July 25, 1918 was always remembered by Gerhard who would state: “There was not enough wheat to feed the chickens.” There was heat and drought of the 30s, wet 50s, tornadoes, hail and other things like grasshoppers. From the original homestead quarter, Gerhard would add more land as the family grew. First was the adjoining Scrip Land and then some School Land. Today the farm consists of cultivated crop land, hay land, pasture and most importantly native prairie which has never seen a plow. All of this and more makes this a special farm for our family.

On the surface it’s just a new paint job. But once you step inside, you’ll soon realize that it’s a new approach to agricultural retail. From the widest range of inputs to unmatched service and expertise, everything you need to grow the best crops possible is here. All under one green roof. CPS has arrived in Western Canada.

Supplement to the East Central Trader & Parkland Review

The Green Family Farm near White Fox Submitted by Emily Backstrom (nĂŠe Green) Jack Green was born March 5, 1897, and came to Canada from Sheffield, England, in 1912 with his father, John George, to homestead NE 31-51-14. His mother passed away when he was a baby. In 1916 he enlisted in the army at Saskatoon where he was trained as a machine gunner. He was sent overseas where he was wounded by a sniper. He returned to Canada in 1918 to find his father gone, and his shack ransacked with all valuables gone. George was said to have gone to Alberta, but was not heard from again. As he was a veteran, he found he could apply for the soldiers grant and was able to get the quarter just north of his existing one. He continued to live in the White Fox area, and met Olive Wood at a picnic they both attended in 1925 in White Fox. She had ridden her pony from Codette to get there. They were married on Oct. 26, 1925, living together in his original shack where Edna was born in 1926. The new house was completed in 1928, and four more children were born there: Freda (1928), Shirley (1929), Joyce (1931), and Emily (1933). Family friend Jack Mathews helped Jack with everyday farm work in the early days. The family had cows, pigs, chickens, and horses to work the land. Before the Nipawin Bridge was put in place a trip to Tisdale with 50-75 bushels of grain re-

quired a ride across the river on the ferry which was about two and a half miles south on the Cumberland train. George King ran the ferry. The trip would take four days in total. Low grain prices were the norm. Jack did not have a lot of schooling, but he enjoyed playing games like crib with his girls. Books were a passion, as well as newspapers when they were available. Radio came with large batteries – there would be a row of them in the garage, used sparingly to listen to Hockey Night in Canada and other important times. The batteries had to be taken to White Fox store to be recharged. New technology was also very important. Any new piece of machinery was of great interest, from threshing machines to combines, grain carts, tractors, even manure spreaders. Jack would always be thinking of ways to acquire some. Olive came to Canada from England in 1912. Olive, whose family had moved around a lot, was happy to have a home of her own after she was married. She had a passion for flowers and

had a large flower garden beside the house. She also had a large vegetable garden for canning and preserving on hot summer days. As her girls got older they helped with kitchen and outdoor chores, such as milking the cows and feeding the chickens. In the late 60s, they went to England to visit relatives, Jack’s sister Freda as well as cousin Dolly. Freda had been left in an orphanage when he and his father left England. Jack and Olive were not big world travelers and didn’t like to be away more than three weeks. When his grandson Paul Backstrom got his driver’s licence, Jack decided that he would take them to B.C. There they visited some friends and relatives, and saw the mountains. Jack was not a person who would stay too long or impose on anyone. Jack belonged to the Masons and went to the Mason Lodge in Nipawin. Olive joined the order of the Eastern Star, and was a member for over 50 years, until it disbanded. Jack passed in 1981, Olive in 2001. The land is still in the family, as it was sold to grandsons Barry Wall and Mark Backstrom.

The Hayes Family Farm at Bjorkdale Submitted by Peggy Looby (nĂŠe Hayes)

On March 3, 1906, W.L. Hayes, ironmonger from Shropshire, England, set sail on the S.S. Bata with a one-way steerage ticket and $20 in cash. He was eighteen years old when the ship landed in Halifax, and he worked first in Toronto, then on a farm in southern Ontario. He decided to travel west, intending to avoid Saskatchewan because of the Riel Rebellion, which portrayed the area as completely uncivilized. However, he found that his funds were low and while he was waiting at the train station, he was approached by a young man who had already bought a ticket,

but was unable to use it. The young man offered to sell Bill the pass for half price. Bill jumped at the chance and only when he was on the train noticed he was destined for Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Bill worked in a bush camp in Crooked River and during a day off, walked south and east along the valley, following an Indian trail. He came upon a bluff of Jack Pine trees about ten miles from the camp and here established a homestead. He proved it up over the next seven years and then in 1915, enlisted in the Canadian Army and was sent overseas. In 1918,

during the occupation he was acting as Billeting Officer in Bonn, Germany and here met his future wife, Hedwig Eisenkramer. He returned to his farm and in 1920, went back to Germany where he and Hedwig were married. They settled on the homestead, raising a family of four: Bill, Yvonne (Pavlis), Therese (Mahussier) and Peggy (Looby). The family lived and worked there until 1952, when the farm was transferred to their daughter, Therese. She and her husband, Tony lived and worked there, raised a family of seven: Terry (Newman), Allan, Leonard (now deceased), Christine (Turcotte),

Madeleine (Valentine), Kathy and Denis. In 1999, the farm was purchased by John and Ada Nakonieczny. They have four children, Shelby, Veronica, Jessica and Kyle who attend Bjorkdale School. The family has made a number of changes, built a new home and they continue to work together on the farm.

In the 19th century the grandfathers of Robert McKeith and Ruby Yates emigrated from Scotland and England to settle in rural Ontario where they married and raised their families. Robert was born in 1896, and Ruby in 1902. Robert’s parents, Thomas and Mary (Barnby) McKeith and their family (Ewart, Ethel, Robert, John and Olive) moved west in 1912 to homestead in the Hazenmore district. Thomas and Lillie Yates followed in 1914 with Ruby and Lillian. Robert joined the army serving overseas from 1916 to 1919. On his return, he met Ruby and they married in 1922. Their first home was near Hazenmore where Ronald was born in 1926, Joyce in 1930 and twins Grant and Gordon in 1931. They endured nine years of crop failure before taking up in 1937 the government offer of two boxcars to transport their settler’s effects to a new location - briefly in the Chagoness area, the winter in Leather River district and finally from 1938 to 1951 in Ridgedale. They farmed five quarters, only one of which was available for purchase. In 1949, Robert bought a quarter at Bjorkdale farming it from Ridgedale. The next year, Ron bought land there, followed by Gordon and Grant in 1951, the year they left Ridgedale and moved to Bjorkdale. Robert (d1973) and Ruby (d1996) built a house on their land one mile south of Bjorkdale and purchased more quarters. As they had done in Hazenmore and Ridgedale, they raised cattle, horses, pigs and chickens. Ronald graduated from the U of S Diploma Agriculture

Course, worked in Edmonton but returned each year to help with seeding and harvest. In 1956 he married Rita Dixon. They lived in Edmonton with daughters Coreen and Sandra until 1964 when they returned to Bjorkdale to farm and work - eventually settling in the farmyard adjacent to the original home quarter. Joyce (d2008) taught school before and after marrying Jack Newcomb (d2007), a Ridgedale farmer. Their daughter Barbara works for Agriculture Canada in Saskatoon. During the fifties Gordon and Grant (d1990) took turns working at jobs in Alberta and BC in the winter. They leased and then purchased seven quarters in the Bjork Lake area clearing and breaking over 1,000 acres in twenty years. In 1963 Gordon married Margaret Wright, the principal of Bjorkdale School (1958–60). They established a second farmyard on a quarter across the highway from Bjorkdale. They have three children, Allan, Owen and Mary. Gordon hauled grain from combines for 69 consecutive years – the first four with horses! After graduating from the U of S College of Agriculture in 1991, Allan worked on the farm and for agricultural businesses in Canada and Kyrgyzstan before returning in 1998 to manage the McKeith Farms in Bjorkdale. Allan lives in the original farmyard and now owns or rents nearby quarters seeding around 2,000 acres each year. His son Michael helps on the farm when at home - operating one of the combines during the 2013 harvest – the fourth generation of McKeiths to farm in Bjorkdale!

The Looby Family Farm at Bjorkdale Submitted by Peggy Looby too, was a family project with the children learning the art as soon as each was able to balance on a stool beside a cow. Again, these projects were cut back as family members and helpers left home. In 1987, Joe suffered a stroke, recovered, but also came to the realization that some changes had to be made. In early

Michael James “Mick� Looby immigrated from Tipperary, Ireland to Canada in the late 1800s, worked on a crew installing the city waterworks in Saskatoon and as foreman on a gravel gang building the CPR Grand Trunk railway. He settled on a homestead, NW quarter/ 34-4212 W2 south of Bjorkdale in the early 1900s. In 1918, he married Mary Shumyla and the couple had four children: Joe, Mary Anne, Alice and Johanna. When she was expecting their youngest child, Mary was admitted to the Saskatchewan Hospital at North Battleford and the baby was born there. Since Mary wasn’t able to come home, Mick was left alone to care for the family and farm. Close neighbours Ellen and John Brockelbank helped care for the baby for a short while. As the family grew older, they were able to help with caring for livestock and doing field work. Time passed and family members left home. In 1952, Mick suffered a stroke and not long after went to live with his daughter, Alice, in Toronto. Thus, Joe was on his own until 1956 when he married Peggy Hayes. Once again, there was a family living in the old log

house, animals in the pastures and outbuildings and a flurry of activity in the fields. Joe increased his holdings, buying the east half of section 33, his Uncle Joe’s farm to the east of the home place and a quarter on Section 35. In 1958, he bought the Bell quarter to the south, making a total of six quarters, which was a fair undertaking considering the type of machinery he had to work with. Joe and Peggy raised a family of nine: Bill, Carmichael, Tim, Johanna, Margaret, Colleen, Heidi, Maureen, and Andrea. A son, Shaun, died in 1964 when he was three days old. Each one of the children helped in some manner, with chores or fieldwork according to age and ability. In July of Jubilee Year, Peggy began her own personal Centennial project and bought a registered Ayrshire cow, finally expanding the herd to a dignified six or seven, according to the number that could feasibly be hand-milked at one sitting. This,

1988, Glen and Donna Clarke bought five quarters of our land. We farmers find it hard to part with land or animals, but appreciate passing them into the hands of those who care. The Clarkes are not only good stewards, but good friends. I remain on the original homestead which has been my home for well over half of my life. Wildlife has replaced the domestic stock, and my dog, Buddy, is always close by.

One Stop Shopping at Star City Colony By Sandra Dancey

Star City Colony has been in the neighborhood north of Star City for almost 40 years. It has seen a few changes in the size and scope of farming, but remains true to the tradition of all Hutterite Farms. Religion is the basis for their lifestyle and philosophy that includes an open and friendly way of being a welcome part

of the community. John, the “field boss” of the colony, has seen the wide range of weather and grain pricing everyone has around here. He remains philosophic about it all in spite of ever-increasing input costs. Hutterite colonies combine traditional values with modern equipment.

Hi! We’re the new reps for Gowan Canada in Saskatchewan. Thank you for your Avadex® business this spring! Don’t be shy; call us for more info about Yuma® GL, our grass herbicide for oilseeds and pulses. Keep us in mind for your Avadex needs this fall too!

Hope to hear from you soon! Jim & Javan

“You have to keep up with technology,” John says, knowing the alternative is to get left in the dust – in every way. In the case of the colony, that would mean a very large dust storm. They farm approximately 7,500 acres, some of it owned, some of it rented. By today’s standards, it’s not the largest, but still means neverending work for the entire colony. Seeding here includes wheat, oats (“no barley this year. It’s hard to get” said John), canola and alfalfa for hay. Approximately 25 per cent of what’s grown in total is used for feed, the other 75 per cent for resale. There is 1,500 head of livestock, 400 of that beef cows and calves, about 200 dairy cows, and the rest

in pork. That’s not including the poultry barn, mind you. It’s common knowledge around here that the Hutterites are a constant supply of fresh chicken and turkeys as well as eggs and that leads into one of the most impressive things about the Star City Colony. It’s a great example of “value-adding” produce. They not only seed and harvest the grain, they grind flour to bake bread, buns, pies, cookies, etc., produce their own milk and dairy products, grow all their own vegetables plus supply potatoes, tomatoes, and more for pick-up, at the farmer’s market and the local grocery store, and they offer freshly butchered pork and beef. It’s “one-stop shopping” at its best; all locally produced.

Considering Selling or Buying Farmland? Give us a call, it costs nothing to ask for an honest opinion of value. Demand for Saskatchewan Farmland, large and small parcels grain land.

Left: Tomatoes at Star City Colony greenhouse. Below: Flowers and herbs at Star City Colony greenhouse.

Lena is in charge of the greenhouse at the colony, something that’s been there for years but has grown to the point that it is open to the public for the first time. Along with the vast array of tomatoes, cucumbers, and herbs, there are countless trays of flowers that serve the dual purpose of being beautiful and helping to attract bees, a key to many garden plants’ ability to pollinate and produce. Rebecca is another friendly, outgoing “spokesperson� for the Colony. Not only does she make incredibly delicious pies, buns and more, but markets it like any other business, keeping the locals aware of new products, offering helpful suggestions on the most delicious item made that week. All of this is done while recognizing people she hasn’t seen in months or years, greeting them

by name, remembering their family and the history behind it. It warrants mentioning that she also drives the produce, baking etc. to town and takes relatives in for appointments and shopping, etc. As with equipment and the approach to running the farm, it’s obvious the womens position within the entire operation is one of equality and capability. Yes, the general rule of thumb is still that the men do the bulk of the seeding and livestock-related aspects of the operation, and the women tend more to the food preparation, laundry and child care, but they all play a key role in keeping the

“well-oiled machine� that is the Star City Colony operating at maximum potential. It’s obvious the entire Colony has fully embraced the community and is very much a part of it. In John’s words, they “Participate where (they) can and donate where (they) can,� like most families in the area.

Serving Agriculture for 70 Years 2014 is the 70th year of Hergott Farm Equipment supplying agricultural services to Humboldt and area farmers. It was originally an International Harvester Ag dealership that also sold IHC trucks and refrigerators, plus Studebaker cars, Northern Electric appliances, chemicals, and general insurance. In 1966 they moved from uptown to a new facility at their current location, just east of Humboldt along Hwy. #5. Over the years, several additions were made to stay ahead of farm equipment requirements, including a major addition in 1981 plus a Parts addition several years after that. Due to an increase in equipment sizes, and a growing market share, a decision to upgrade was again made. Phase 1 was a major change primarily to the existing service department, including equipment upgrading such as an enclosed hi-pressure parts washer, a new 800hp dynamometer, plus several new service trucks including a crane unit. Many interior changes are now complete, including a new larger staff/training room, service computer room, much larger tool room, and QHZ VHUYLFH PDQDJHU DQG VKRS IRUHPDQ RIÂżFHV With a total of 19 service technicians, more

locker space has been added and is almost complete. The Precision Farming (PF) department will DOVR EH JHWWLQJ D QHZ RI¿FH GLVSOD\ DQG VWRUage area. The PF department can advise farmers on items such as Auto Steer, RTK, Auto Rate & section control, NH3 & liquid fertilizer, lasers, water management, and much more. Phase 2 was the building of a new shop area. As you may have noticed, construction is now almost complete. The new 11,200 square ft. facility will include a full-length overhead 10,000 lb. crane with enough clearance to handle any service job required. A 55’ door will easily accommodate large equipment including windrowers, large air drills, sprayers and more. Phase 3’s next planned facility is a large warehouse to accommodate additional parts storage plus wholegoods attachments and outdoor power products (OPP). Hergotts also acquired additional land to the East (the old abattoir) for added equipment display. This area was also cleaned up last year. The front third has been landscaped to grade using a Leon scraper equipped with Auto Level, both sold at the dealership. It will be completed

this Summer. Hergott Farm Equipment believes strongly in customer satisfaction and, like their customers, is investing in the future. Many of the current products that have helped Hergott gain market share include the Case IH Steiger 4WD/Quadtracs, the revolutionDU\ ÀDJVKLS FRPELQH OLQH ZLWK UHYHUVLEOH SODQHtary-driven belt-free rotor drive, and the Patriot sprayer line with its Aim Command nozzle technology, plus state-of-the-art seeding systems from Bourgault Industries. Other quality lines handled at Hergotts include Kubota, Cub Cadet, Meridian (Sakundiak), Degelman, Leon, Rainbow trailers, Demco grain carts, Behnke sprayer trailers, and MacDon. The current shareholders of Hergott Farm Equipment are Len Hergott – General Manager, Murray Hergott – OPP/Building Manager, Curtis Hergott – Shop Foreman, Daryl Hushagen – Controller, Joe Fischl – Sales Manager, Chris Hergott – Precision Farming Specialist, and Gerald Hergott – Former General Manager (retired). Hergott Farm Equipment is one of a few independent implement dealers. Farmers know the owners, the owners know the farmers.

Campbell Farm History Submitted by Niall and Susan Campbell of Bjorkdale In 1911 my grandfather, Dugald Campbell, immigrated to Canada from Scotland to settle in Crooked River. Over a year later my grandmother, Lucy Campbell, my father Archie, and my Aunt Flora traveled on the S.S. Sicilian, crossing the ocean to Canada. For ten days their ship was caught in a thick fog and icebergs close to the spot that the Titanic had gone down. She stated in her diary that the ship’s crew were seen throwing wreaths over the deck in memory of the lives lost. My grandfather worked as the stable boss for the Saskatchewan Lumber Company. In March of 1913, three weeks after the birth of their son Ken, they moved to a homestead near Speddington, seven miles south of Crooked River. In 1919 my grandfather suffered a serious stroke which left him partially paralyzed. My father, who was sixteen at the time, took up much of the responsibilities of family and farm. In 1920 they sold that farm and moved to the SE 21-43-12, one and a half miles west of Bjorkdale. This is the same quarter that we farm and reside on today. Dad worked his passage to England on a cattle boat in 1934. While staying at his cousin’s, he met my mother Beatrice Bond. They courted by mail for the next twelve years and in 1946 he returned to England to marry mum. From this union three children were born, my sisters Lynne and Jean, and me. We attended school at Sunny Brow, located half a mile west of our farm, until it was closed, then bussed to Bjorkdale.

I married Susan Beaudette from McKague in August of 1974 and we have two children, Amy born in 1981 and David in 1984. Susan and I continue to farm the land raising Angus cattle, starting a farrow-weanling operation in the mid 70’s, and purchasing a small flock of sheep in 1985 which has since grown to 150 ewes. Health issues and poor prices forced us out of hogs The love of horses has been in the Campbell blood since grandfather Dugald’s time, passed down to Uncle Ken and on to myself. We have raised Registered Belgians for the past twenty years. Besides helping on the farm and raising two kids, Susan worked at the Bjorkdale Co-op for

22 years, retiring in 2012. Over the past years we have had the pleasure of hosting foreign exchange students, and being very involved with the church and community. Niall spent many years on the boards of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Bjorkdale Co-op, seven years on the Saskatchewan Sheep Development Board, three of which he was chairman. He is now on the Draft Horse committee for the Saskatchewan Horse Federation and we are a big part of the Saskatchewan Working Teamsters Association. Life has slowed down this past year with some health problems, there will be some changes to our farming but we will persevere. Life continues to be full!

The Tornquist Homestead Farm at White Fox Submitted by Torance Tornquist Four young Swedish immigrants, who were working together on the Hudson Bay Railway in the winter months of 1914, went looking for farmland that summer. They had three requirements: the land had to be free of stones, have standing timber and a water supply. The men arrived in Tisdale, travelling from there to Ravine Bank (Nipawin) before crossing the Saskatchewan River where they followed survey cut lines to locate what they believed would be good and productive land on which to settle. Together, these four Swedes built their first log shack on the southwest corner of this quarter section which would be just across (east of) the railway tracks from the present community of White Fox and the north side of Highway #55. This land, SE 1-52-15 W2, was the homestead of Peter Tornquist with the documents and oral history indicating that it was ‘filed’ in the year 1914. The property continues to be owned by the Tornquist family, and as such, qualifies this year for ‘Century Farm’ status. It is one of the first within the Rural Municipality of Torch River to reach that mark. Through the early years of settlement and development, the farm

served as a stopping place for other homesteaders and travellers to and from Nipawin. Horses were fed and watered and accommodations which at times meant the barn loft provided as required. The initial application for the quarter section was completed in Tisdale, November 28, 1914 and the $10 fee was receipted in Prince Albert on December 1, 1914. In statements dated 20 September

1919, prepared in support of the application for ‘Letters Patent’ (title), the following is revealed: Breaking – done in 1916 - 16 acres Livestock - 27 cattle, 1 horse House - 16 x 24 logs and frame, 1 1/2 storey Fencing- 40 acres, wire and pole Stable- 14 x 38 logs Well- 12-ft. cribbed Material for barn valued at $300 The Department of the Interior Can-

ada, Ottawa, dated April 21, 1921, advised that “the Land Registration District of East Saskatchewan will issue the certificate of title upon receipt of your application to him therefore, and upon payment of the proper fees, if any. Clear title was obtained and development of the/home property continued. Over more than 25 years, the farm was operated as an ‘Illustration Station’ for experimental farms with Agriculture Canada. Various crop rotations and varieties of grain were tested, and this process required the maintenance of detailed planting dates, yields and observations. Annual field days were held to tour plots and disseminate the results of the trials. A small dairy was operated for several years with the milk and cream delivered daily (except Sundays) to customers in White Fox. To utilize the forages produced in the crop rotation trials the dairy herd was essential. Farming methods have now changed drastically and today, grain and oilseeds are grown and an orchard and garden are maintained. Over the last hundred years, the railroad and highways were built, electricity, telephones and other services developed.

Farm Families 23

2014 Spring Seeding in Star City By Sandra Dancey As farms continue to grow in size and scope, Star City’s “South Star” area has an anomaly rarely seen in this province any more: many farmyards close together. Yes, there are still spots where there’s 2-3 miles between yards, but generally speaking, most are a half mile to a mile apart, tops. Many yards are acreages inhabited by young families that have direct ties to the neighborhood, often living next door or just down the road from where they grew up. Many of the farms are mixed farms that have passed down through several generations, keeping the farm under the original name when the home quarter was established over 100 years ago. Take the McAvoy family for instance. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of seeing the shiny ‘milk truck’ coming and going south of the highway at the Star City corner, you may know where it’s headed or coming from. Like most farmers in the province, the McAvoys are getting ready for seeding, but they need to continue their other daily chores as well, such as gathering milk from their dairy herd. Spring and seeding means adding to the daily workload, but in a way that means more time outdoors monitoring next fall’s income. There is no “downtime” for the McAvoys, just a change in focus. Duane McAvoy has been there his

means no time off as well – ever. Peter’s wife Tanya works right beside him. She gets the kids out of bed in the morning for school and makes sure they’re ‘fed and watered’ before they climb on the bus, then she does the wide array of jobs most farm wives do, such as accounting, running to town for parts, dropping Peter off or picking him up from farm equipment, phone calls and meetings for Dairy Producers, getting the boys to hockey practice or 4H meetings or whatever else they’re involved in, yardwork… Oh yeah, and she’s there to help with milking every evening too, plus delivering calves and taking care of any of the herd that need medical and/ or health-related care. Raising three sons has given Tanya the motherly approach to helping with the cows. She’s more empathetic and understanding, even though she insists that “Peter is far more patient with the cattle” than she is. She’s the first to notice if a cow has mastitis and needs attention. She hand-feeds the cattle that are having obvious problems with appetite and illness. This brings up the never-ending debate about store-bought milk and whether or not it’s good for you. Tanya spends a lot of time and energy educating consumers on milk production and that “No, we don’t use growth-hormones on our cattle.”

Duane McAvoy Seeding

entire life, just like his father before him who took over the mixed family farm at age 13. Things were a little simpler then, but the main philosophy hasn’t changed. “Show up on time,” Duane says about milking cows and therefore keeping the operation running smoothly – and “on time” means 4 a.m. every day. Duane’s son, Peter, is one of the current generation of McAvoys doing the bulk of the work, but he’s not doing it alone. Duane and his wife Deb still play a key role in the operation, along with Peter’s wife Tanya, their sons and their backup help, Laura, another of Duane and Deb’s kids that has her own career and life going on but still finds time to help out once in a while. In its early stages the dairy farm ran on a smaller scale of about 25 cows being the focus of the farm, but over the years

and generations it has grown to about four times that size, providing milk twice daily. Farming and dairy equipment is more modern now, but the workload remains much the same: time-consuming, and without a break. So try to wrap your mind around the increased pace on an average farm this time of year, but add to that the daily chores of milking, feeding and caring for around 250 head of dairy cattle. That doesn’t take away from the positive feeling all farmers have every spring as they, like every other farmer in the area, get to the field as soon as possible and get their crops seeded as quickly as they can. The crops they’re seeding have a dual purpose: approximately a quarter of what gets put in the ground is for the cattle, the rest is for family income. Marrying into the McAvoy family

She also pointed out that the ones that require medication are milked separately from the herd and that milk is thrown out, something that has been common practice in Milk Production forever but is overlooked by much of the general public. Regulations for Canadian Dairy Producers are very strict, meaning the end product is above standards required in many or most parts of the world. This also means it requires constant marketing

and public relations to educate the public on what those requirements are, and how it translates into the best end-product for dairy products in the store, a job that has been championed by her since she became part of the family. The next generation of McAvoys is well on its way to taking over the family farm, although as most people in this part of the province know, “retirement” is just a state

of mind. The farming mentality is something most are born with, and that means it’s something they never completely give up. Riding in the tractor cab during seeding and helping with the cattle is all part of a normal day for the McAvoy boys this time of year. Colten, Ethan and Jordan, the fourth generation of McAvoys, already have a genuine interest in it and are learning the trade from their parents and grandparents, just like their Dad did.

Footprints Submitted Anonymously It was October 23, 1929 when 24 year-old Harold Black of the Irish Free State, Leitrim would marry 23 yearold Emily McDermott of Killymarah, Irish Free State, Leitrim and soon after set sail on the Andania passenger ship at Belfast, Northern Ireland with $169 in his pocket. They would land in Montreal, Quebec on November 17, 1929. Emily’s oldest brother John McDermott would meet them at the train station in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and continue on by car to Nipawin, where they would spend the winter working with John and the Piefers. Spring would see the newly-

weds file on their homestead, NE-21-51-15, to begin a new life of farming; sharing good times and hard times, they would never be able to return to their beloved Ireland. A log home was built, along with some outbuildings, and a cow, a pig, some sheep, chickens, and a pair of buckskin horses would complete their farmstead. Working with an axe, a few acres at a time were proved up and a cyclone seeder started the first wheat crop. The pair moved to farm with their first son, two month-old Albert, in January of 1931. Harold had left all his family in Ireland but Emily had five

brothers already in Canada; John, Tom, Josh, Biel and Joe. Harold continued to work for Tom McDermott, walking eight miles back only to do his own work at night. A lantern could be spotted in the field as the two of them stooked sheaves in preparation for the thrashers. They shared great neighbours, the Smiths, Doyles, Scarfs and the Eastcotts; these ladies planted gardens and spent time together while berry picking, with the bears, elk, deer and noisy children including Harold and Emily’s second son, Lyle. As soon as age permitted, Albert was kept home from school to cut the crop. Wild Bees proved valuable with a great return in alfalfa seed. While Emily walked three and a half miles to White Fox with her reed basket of eggs to trade at the store, Lyle was left home to guard the bagged seed in case the pigs would get out. Emily returned to find Lyle asleep on the bags. Once during a winter storm, the family were alerted to a noise outside, only to find Rusk’s horses backed up to the newly installed window pane, causing great excitement. The Black brothers, along

with several others, rode horseback to Waterview School, two miles south of Love on the SE 5 52 15, so the Black family moved there on the highway, expanding the farm and making new friends with the Dixons, Gallaghers and Burtons. Both of Harold and Emily’s sons continued to love farming and remain on the same parcel of land. Lasting friendships were made that stood the test of time. Stan and Norman Smith, Ed Dixon and Buck Scarf all remain on farms sharing a new generation of family. In later years, Emily found herself enjoying a carefully prepared meal at her home

when the Watsons, Everits and Harrises would celebrate Emily and Grandma Watson’s birthday. Emily’s grandchildren were versed on an “adult evening.” Each of the two boys married and there are six grandchildren, two boys and four girls: Gordon, Don, Pat, Laurie, Debbie and Connie; with great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren to carry on the family heritage. Harold would pass away in 1971, Emily in 1987, Albert in 1980 and his wife Lorraine in 2003. Harold and Emily have left a footprint in the soil of a new country with true pioneer spirit.
