Mid-June
POW- that is what makes this province tick- Potash, Oil and Wheat. We passed 4 potash plants in about 30 kms- they mine it 1km under ground. Canada produces the majority of potash for the world!

 

 

We haven’t seen the oil fields along the way here, but we have seen lots and lots of HUGE farms- and HUGE equipment, too- get a look at these-

 

Some of these combines cost over $300,000! The combine stands about 20 ft tall and almost as wide. That tractor has TWELVE tires- 4WD- actually 12wd!  It has a planter on behind which, when laid open, is bout 50 ft. wide. They drive these rigs down the road- that would be Trans-Canada Highway 16- to get to their next

field!

Wheat, canola, flax and soybeans.
One night at a rest area that is off the road and large enough for about 20 RVs- Free and we were the only ones there that night- very quiet- a wooded area with grassy patches to park in.The next night was behind a First Nation Casino- not ideal- several big rigs nearby running reefers all night, but it was free, too.

Even the clouds are huge out here 🙂 This one looked particularly menacing!
