Growing Grass and Community with Lindsay Hamilton
byKatelyn Duban

On this week’s episode of The Rural Woman Podcast™, you’ll meet Lindsay Hamilton.

Lindsay Hamilton from Homegrown Small Town owns and operates 3 successful businesses, 2 of which are in the farming sector. A 5th generation farmer with a passion for growing, soil and education. When not helping to oversee the operations and over 100 employees, she enjoys spending her time on her one-acre garden with her husband and 2 kids, making maple syrup and quilting (Yes, she is only 35 despite her hobbies suggesting otherwise).

She is a true believer that there is no such thing as NOT having a green thumb and wants to teach as many people as possible to grow their own food and preserve it in a modern way. She believes there’s a little homesteading and farming in everyone.

The Farming Storyteller

If you are involved in the ag industry in Western Canada, you’ve more than likely read this man’s work in the Grainews, The Western Producer, or maybe even the Financial Post. 

Have you ever thought about the writer behind the article? 

Toban Dyck grew up on a farm but started out his career ambitions with the written word as his craft. 

This lead him to become an award winning writer for many different papers. 

His writing eventually took him far from the farm to the big city of Toronto. 

On a visit home he realized the true beauty and legacy of the family farm and decided to return. 

Toban’s talent and passion to write gave him the ability to relate with producers on a very practical level. 

His question quickly became … do we take writing for granted in agriculture? 

Through his articles he has connected with not only hundreds of producers sharing their stories, tips and tricks around the farm, but the broader public in order to create awareness. 

He is also making an impact on agricultural organizations ability to communicate their message through his new company, Burr Forest Group. 

There’s one thing that will always remain the same, great storytelling always wins.

Bringing Better Barley to Western Canada – with Jim Anderson
byThe Barley Bin

Since 1984, Jim Anderson has been involved in the R&D program in what is now Nutrien Ag Solutions. Since that time, the program Jim has been working in has had 34 barley varieties supported for registration. The most successful varieties include: B1602 (malt), Winchester and Stetson (6-row, semi-dwarf, feed), Westford and Dillon (hooded, forage), Xena, Champion and Brahma (2-row, feed). Current varieties include Oreana (semi-dwarf), Claymore and Altorado (all 2-row, feed types). Altorado will be launched in 2022. Another four new varieties are being tested in regional trials. In our conversation we talk about Jim’s experiences with Nutrien and its predecessor companies, growing and developing barley varieties for prairie farmers. We delve into historical varieties, variety development and Jim’s passion for generating good quality data for farmers.
