Largest barn in Canada

Southwest of Foremost, Alberta is what at one time was the largest barn in Canada. It likely is the largest barn in Western Canada. It was built by John Heninger, has three floors, over 16,000 square feet, and once housed about 4,000 sheep. Today I am not sure if it gets much use. A sign in the property says Douglas Ranch.

Canola

In my part of the province the Canola crop is not good. This one by Barons, Alberta is much better.

When 4WD cannot save you

Just a smidge east past Calmar, Alberta this truck has been sitting in a field just off Highway 39 for over a week. Prior to that the amount of rain waterlogged the fields so I have no idea if someone was drunk, the vehicle was stolen, or it was a case of y’all watch this. I am a little surprised no one has tried to retrieve it. It must be buried up to the axles.
