Antique seeding demo will have lots of horsepower!

By Joan Janzen

The Kindersley Threshing Club, powered by a dozen dedicated volunteers, is gearing up for its annual seeding demonstration on May 30th. It's their hard work that makes this event possible.

Duffy Ham, Gord Caswell, Glen Watrous, Larry Benjamin, and Lionel Storey will bring the horsepower, meaning they will be bringing their horses. Some of the horses will pull equipment, while others will pull wagons and give rides to kids.

And yes, they're excited to welcome a hundred and forty Grade 3 students from schools in the area. They'll have a blast with wagon rides and delicious burgers, courtesy of Pattison's Ag. FCC, Simplot, and Crop Insurance will also be lending a hand.

The bleachers will be set up for those who want to come and watch the men work. Four horses will be pulling the 1914 seed drill, as well as a couple of horses will be on the diamond harrows and grain wagon. There will also be a 1926 International hauling grain and a 1960 tractor in the field.

The crew prepares for the big day for about three days. They need to prepare equipment and pick rocks in the field. After all the preparations are done, they hope the rain will hold off for a few days so the antique equipment and the horsepower can head out into the field.
