Family celebrates 100 years of farming in Saskatchewan
Many large organizations and businesses in and around Prince Albert are celebrating their centennial year and one family is doing the same.
The Braatens started farming in the area when one Braaten, who was born in Norway, moved to Saskatchewan from North Dakota and obtained a small bit of land.
“My grandpa first homesteaded next door to here and then his son Charlie lived here and homesteaded as well, and then my Dad, Wayne,” said Braaten. “Then [me and] my wife Kathy and my three sons, Joshua, Tanner and Keenan.”
After 100 years and four generations that farm is still going strong with 3000 acres of land and still expanding every year.
