Members of the Grade 3 class from Westberry Elementary School gather around Lionel Story’s 1914 hoe drill on June 13 to learn more about seeding and how it was done in the pioneer days. It was part of an annual seeding and tilling demonstration held by the Kindersley Antique Threshing Club. The students participated in Burger & Fries Farm program during the event held at the Kindersley & District Plains Museum.
Members of the Kindersley Antique Threshing Club have recreated yet another scene straight out of the pioneer days of a century ago in the fields of Saskatchewan.
The club held its second annual antique seeding and tilling demonstration on June 9 on a plot of donated land to the west of the Kindersley & District Plains Museum. It’s the third year that club members have seeded a crop for a harvest demonstration in the fall, but only the second year for the seeding demonstration.
Several club members brought out teams of horses to the demonstration. Netherhill’s Lionel Story, a club member, had a team of four horses hooked up to his 1914 hoe drill. Story also brought an antique disc plow to use in the demonstration.
