Golden wheat field at sunset on the Saskatchewan prairie

Est. 1907 · Assiniboia, Saskatchewan

Four generations on Saskatchewan soil.

The Rhodes family has farmed this land since it was homesteaded in 1907. Wheat, durum, flax, peas, lentils, and barley — grown under the big prairie sky.

— The Family

One family, one stretch of prairie, since it was homesteaded.

Four generations of the Rhodes family have lived on and worked this land since it was homesteaded in 1907. The barn has been re-roofed, the equipment has changed, and the kids who once rode in the buddy seat now run their own combines.

The land has stayed the same. So has the work.

— The Operation

Approximately 2,500 acres worked with care.

We use a minimum-tillage approach paired with precision guidance to reduce overlap and skipping. An Environmental Farm Plan guides most decisions we make on the land — because the next generation is already watching.

— In the Rotation

Six crops, one healthy rotation.

Rotation keeps the soil alive — and gives every field its turn to rest, fix, and feed.
