Actually I'm originally from Germany but the last 33 years I have been living and farming in Manitoba Canada. I want to officially thank my Dad for having the guts and balls to leave his birth country to move to a new country where he didn't understand anyone and start farming. It was the best thing he ever did as far as business goes.

gm, there are many similar stories in my area. Lots of very successful farmers who came over here, learned english, adapted to Canadian ways of farming, and successfully introduced a lot of concepts from Europe that have proven very successful, such as increasing inputs and pushing production higher.

I'm from Hogeland, MT. The town was built by the Great Northern Land and Townsite Co., a subsidiary of the Great Northern Railway, in 1928 when the railroad built a branch line which ended at Hogeland. The town was named for A.H. Hogeland who was the railroad's chief engineer at the time. Mr. Hogeland was rewarded for his years of faithful service by having a tiny village in the middle of nowhere named after him. :rolleyes:

Hogeland is about 30 miles east of the point which is common to AB, SK, and MT. My farm is three miles west of the town. On a clear day I can see Frontier. SK.

Aren't you glad you asked? :cool:

The majority of land is in Township 32 and Ranges 23 and 24 West of the 4th.

My location states North shore of Lake Ontario , which is where we are , we farm along the Shores of Lake Ontario and The Bay of Quinte.
My nearest town is Dorland , Ontario but a lot of maps will not show it , as there is only 8 houses and a small fire station there. When we look due south we are looking across the lake at Oswego NY (27 miles) and we are about 19 miles by water to the mouth of the ST. Lawrence river.( the 1000 islands area)
My GPS coordinates at my farm office are 44.06261 North by 77.05777 West.

Maybe break N. America down to farming regions such as corn belt or southern plains, northern plains, etc. or types of farming. You could go back to origins of farming history from country through migration to other areas of the present country. Everybody could write a book on that I'm sure.

There are quite a few CAT challengers in Antarctica now, they are Ice spec converted in Hobart, TAS. Could almost tongue in cheek say that's the beginning of farming over there:D Does Fossil farming count??
