    A rare opportunity to own a fully operational piece of Alberta’s agricultural legacy. This iconic 1965 Alberta Wheat Pool grain elevator in Herronton is a striking and functional example of prairie craftsmanship and history. Built with unplaned 2"x8" fir in a stacked construction over 100 feet tall and reinforced with massive fir beams ranging from 4"x4" to 12"x12", it offers an estimated total capacity of 117,600 bushels between the elevator and annex. Set on 1.1 acres, this privately owned facility includes a cement foundation, driveway, receiving scale, front and back grain pits, and a single-phase 220V system converted to 3-phase to power the elevator leg motor. A bin wheel and clutch system distributes to hopper-bottom storage bins, while the annex bin wheel serves internal and external bin rows. The site also features a rail/truck load-out pit and spout to the former rail spur (now graveled and ready for possible reinstallation or truck use), an indoor truck loading spout, shipping scale and scale hopper, dust collection and clean-out system, office building with electrical panel and furnace, and an outhouse. Still in working condition, the elevator offers both practical infrastructure and significant historical value. A 3-phase diesel generator can be added to support expanded power needs, and a spout on the north side provides potential for an outside unloading station. Listed at $199,000. A truly unique investment in both utility and heritage—make it part of your family legacy for generations to come. More details

Milo Alberta Information

Milo is a village in Vulcan County, Alberta, Canada. It is located on Highway 542, approximately 127 kilometres (79 mi) southeast of the City of Calgary and 72 kilometres (45 mi) east of the Town of High River. Milo is mainly an agricultural service community. In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Village of Milo had a population of 136 living in 51 of its 58 total private dwellings, a change of 49.5% from its 2016 population of 91. With a land area of 0.96 km2 (0.37 sq mi), it had a population density of 141.7/km2 (366.9/sq mi) in 2021.[3] In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Village of Milo recorded a population of 91 living in 49 of its 64 total private dwellings, a -25.4% change from its 2011 population of 122. With a land area of 0.98 km2 (0.38 sq mi), it had a population density of 92.9/km2 (240.5/sq mi) in 2016.[4] Amenities include a community hall, curling rink, walking paths, hotel, library, skating area, and school. The village has a grocery, pub, and cafe. The community is home to a Lutheran church and has an active Lions Club which maintains an attractive playground and picnic area. Other services are available in nearby Vulcan (50 km). A campground with 85 sites is located in a small park beside nearby McGregor Lake reservoir. The lake, which is a major part of an irrigation system, is popular for fishing, swimming, windsurfing, boating and birdwatching. In 1909, Milo was settled 3 kilometres northeast of its present location when Jens (Jim) and Alete Aasgard moved here from Osseo, WI and built their store and home. The town was named for Milo Munro, first postmaster – his post office was in the Aasgards’ store. Nearby, a blacksmith shop and Bank of Hamilton opened. Before 1920, the Village of Milo had a telephone office, butcher, pool hall, community hall, and ice cream parlor. A new railroad extension into the area did not reach the young community, so in 1924, Milo was moved to the side of the train tracks. Most of the buildings were pulled to the new location. The town hall was too large and was dismantled in sections and rebuilt at its new location. Village status was achieved in 1931. A World War II Royal Canadian Air Force navigator, Harlo “Terry” Taerum, the son of a Norwegian immigrant,[5] spent his early years on a farm a few kilometers from Milo and attended school in the community. In May 1943, in Operation Chastise, commonly known as the “Dambuster Raid,” he navigated the lead Lancaster bomber at very low level, at night, to the primary target, a power dam inside Germany. He was killed on a later raid in September 1943.[6] A new community hall was built in 1985 and the curling rink expanded and renovated in 1998. Since 2000, developments along the shores of McGregor Lake have attracted cottagers and vacationers from Calgary. The original site of the village – the Aasgards’ farmstead and store – are now part of Canada’s largest comb honey beekeeping farm, owned by Don and Ron Miksha.

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.
