Millions of dollars of infrastructure were invested in this ranch. With a feedlot, the current owners have held over 2000 animals but the is the capacity to raise more. Several paddocks with drill stem fencing and alleyways, wind fences, amazing sorting pens, and loading shute like you've never seen before. Weigh Scale, silage pit, grain bins, and many very useable buildings (see outbuilding remarks for more info). There is an extensive water system to support the capacity of the feedlot and all houses and buildings. No dollar was spared in the development of these buildings and they are a must-see. There is a large backup generator that automatically goes on if the power goes out (which is not very often). The main house, the owner's private house, and the guest cabins are very nicely custom-built with a great Western feel and high-end Wolf appliances in the main house and in the kitchen dining area of the guest cabin. The Vision of the man who designed this ranch was to cater to guests who visit the ranch or to buy livestock. There is a very nice bar-style reception Hall. The owners have held bull sales here with 100s of guests in attendance and have also done well with short-term renting the guest cabins. There are tons of uses for this Ranch whether you are a family looking to grow your cow/calf operation, in the purebred business, or a Colony - this ranch is perfect! Other farmed and pasture land available so Package deals can me made to suit buyers needs. More details

Magrath Alberta Information

Magrath is a town in Cardston County, Alberta, Canada. Its population was 2,481 in 2021. Magrath is 32 km (20 mi) (approximately 25 minutes) south of Lethbridge and 242 km (150 mi) (approximately 2.5 hours) south of Calgary. Magrath was established in 1899 by settlers sent by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from Utah and Idaho. These Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints settlers were recruited by the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company to construct irrigation works in the area funded by British interests by the family of Sir Alexander Galt. The settlers were paid in cash and land in the town. This was the first major irrigation work in Canada and was made possible by the settlers’ experience with the extensive irrigation projects undertaken by their church in Utah and Idaho. The irrigation system was completed in November 1899 and spanned ninety-miles. It was the first large-scale irrigation system in Canada. The area’s irrigation canal system supplies water to farmers throughout Southern Alberta and was the first major irrigation project in Canada. In its early years Magrath was known as The Irrigation Capital of Canada, and later as “The Garden City” for its beautiful natural setting and plentiful trees. The design and layout of Magrath was based on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ‘Plat of Zion’ urban design model. Magrath also has historical links to the internationally recognized British Garden City tradition which was piloted in England during this same period. Magrath was named after Charles Alexander Magrath, the son-in-law of Sir Alexander Galt.[7] Magrath post office was established 1 March 1900, with Ammon Mercer as first postmaster.[8] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Magrath had a population of 2,481 living in 803 of its 830 total private dwellings, a change of 4.5% from its 2016 population of 2,374. With a land area of 5.88 km2 (2.27 sq mi), it had a population density of 421.9/km2 (1,092.8/sq mi) in 2021.[4] The population of the Town of Magrath according to its 2017 municipal census is 2,435,[9] a change of 1.5% from its 2015 municipal census population of 2,398.[10] In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Magrath recorded a population of 2,374 living in 757 of its 794 total private dwellings, a 7.1% change from its 2011 population of 2,217. With a land area of 5.99 km2 (2.31 sq mi), it had a population density of 396.3/km2 (1,026.5/sq mi) in 2016.[11] The following is a breakdown of Magrath’s population by religious affiliation from the 2001 federal census.[12] Statistics Canada includes 44 churches in its 2001 Protestant definition, including members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Community of Christ.[13] The religious affiliation within Magrath is primarily from the LDS Church. There is a stake based in Magrath, which is composed of ten congregations (eight wards and two branches) in the town and surrounding area.[14] As of June 2016, the total membership in the Magrath Alberta Stake was reported as 2433 members.

Understanding Topsoil Depth in Alberta: Insights from AAFC SLC Version 3.2 Data

Topsoil depth is a critical factor for agricultural productivity, influencing water retention, nutrient availability, and root growth. The provided map of Alberta illustrates the topsoil depth in inches, highlighting significant regional variations. This analysis is based on data from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) Version 3.2.

Key Observations

The topsoil depth in Western Alberta and the Rockies is generally shallow, ranging from 0 to 6 inches. This is due to the rugged terrain and erosional processes associated with mountainous regions. The shallow topsoil in these areas supports forests and natural vegetation rather than extensive agriculture.

Central Alberta, including areas around Edmonton and Red Deer, exhibits moderate to deep topsoil depths, generally between 8 to 14 inches. These depths are conducive to productive agriculture, supporting a variety of crops. The deeper topsoil in central regions contributes to higher agricultural yields and sustainable farming practices.

In Southern and Eastern Alberta, regions such as Calgary and areas towards the Saskatchewan border show variable topsoil depths ranging from 6 to 10 inches. While suitable for agriculture, these areas may require careful soil management to maintain productivity. Areas with shallower topsoil are more drought-resistant and may need irrigation and soil conservation practices.

Regional Analysis

The Rocky Mountain Influence is evident in the shallow topsoil of the Rocky Mountain foothills, resulting from the rocky and rugged terrain, limiting soil accumulation. These areas are more suited to forest growth and natural vegetation rather than intensive agriculture.

In contrast, the Prairie Conditions in central Alberta benefit from moderate to deep topsoil, which is ideal for crop production and supports Alberta’s agricultural economy. Maintaining topsoil depth through conservation practices is essential for sustaining long-term agrarian productivity in these areas.

Implications for Agriculture

Understanding topsoil depth is crucial for effective soil management practices, including crop selection, irrigation, and fertilization. Farmers can use this data to optimize their farming practices, choosing crops suited to the available topsoil depth and implementing appropriate soil conservation measures. Deeper topsoil improves water retention and nutrient availability, which is essential for healthy crop growth and high yields.

Conclusion

The topsoil depth map of Alberta reveals significant regional variations influenced by geographical features such as the Rocky Mountains and the fertile plains of central Alberta. Understanding these variations is crucial for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring sustainable farming. By leveraging this data, farmers can improve crop yields, manage soil health, and enhance overall agrarian productivity in Alberta.
