Food Farm and Antique Threshing Club make a great team!
By Joan Janzen
Each year, Grade 3 students from Kindersley and the surrounding area look forward to visiting the museum. This year, over 140 students took part in the 2024 Food Farm program and the Antique Threshing Club’s seeding demonstration on Thursday, May 30th.
Despite the cool and windy weather, the students filled the stands to watch the seeding demonstrations and thoroughly enjoyed going on wagon rides around the museum yard. Meanwhile, volunteers were busy barbecuing burgers for the hungry youngsters.

Once again, Simplot Solutions and Saskatchewan Agriculture in the Classroom joined hands, showcasing the power of collaboration in hosting this fun day of agriculture learning. Kindersley’s own “Learning About Ag with Mady” also played a significant role, sharing her knowledge about where food comes from, making the community feel proud of their local talent.
Additional participants during the day were Pattison Agriculture, FCC and the Kindersley Regional Office of the Ministry of Agriculture. This is the day when Grade 3 students plant everything they need for a burger and fries meal and come to harvest their produce in the fall.
The students embarked on a thrilling journey through hands-on stations, immersing themselves in the fascinating world of agriculture. Meanwhile, the Antique Threshing Club was a hive of activity, seeding five acres of land next to the museum and offering exhilarating wagon rides for all the children.
