My husband and I were both born and raised in
Saskatchewan. Our daughter Tasha was also born there (though we
live in Alberta now). We both come from farming families (just
about everyone in Saskatchewan has at least a few people in the family
who farm).
Grain farming is the dominant industry in Saskatchewan -- the most common crop is wheat and the second most common crop is
canola. Other prominent industries include
mining, meat processing, electricity production, and petroleum refining.
Seriously though, this is a John Deere
"combine" offloading grain into a truck during the first week
of September. Most of the harvesting in Saskatchewan is done in
late August and September. We usually get our first snow fall
before the end of September (though the snow doesn't usually stay on the
ground until late October/early November).
