Farming on the Irrawaddy

A great deal of agriculture takes place on the banks of the river.

Note the absence of mechanized equipment. In 10 days travelling on the river there were no tractors seen working the fields. All the work appeared to be done by hand, using oxen for the heavier tasks.

Huron County Farmhouse

We visited friends this past weekend in Huron County. The land is flat and the farms are prosperous. This house was built in the late 1800’s and is really spectacular and impeccably cared for. It has been in the family since 1900 or so.

The 10 foot ceilings and front and back staircases are a mark of the architecture of the time.

This part of the province is a very pungent challenge to the nose. Pigs are big business and the smell of money is constantly in the air.

Haying Time

Chisolm township is just south of Lake Nosbonsing.  A little niche of very good farmland in the middle of the rocks and trees that characterize Northern Ontario.  The North Border of Algonquin Park is on the South edge of the Township.
