Englefeld Saskatchewan Information

Englefeld (2016 population: 285) is a village in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan within the Rural Municipality of St. Peter No. 369 and Census Division No. 15. The village is located 32 kilometres east of the City of Humboldt on Highway 5. The community was named for Peter Engel, an abbot of Saint John’s Abbey, located in Collegeville, Minnesota.[4] It is not known why Engel’s name was spelled differently in the village’s name. The surrounding area was settled by German Catholic immigrants in 1902-1903 who arrived by train at Rosthern. From there travelled 125 miles by horse to the area around Englefeld. Englefeld was one of several communities within the tract known as St. Peter’s Colony.[4] By 1904, the Canadian Northern Railway had made its way through the region, as did the telegraph with the telephone eventually arriving in 1916. In 1905, the first church was erected, followed by a general store and lumberyard in 1906 and a post office in February 1907. A hotel was erected in 1909 and the Englefeld school district was formed.[5] The first grain elevator in the community went up in 1910 with a railway station following in 1912. In 1910 the first fully graded roads were constructed in the community and that same year a livery barn was constructed.[6] A community hall was constructed in 1912 and electric lighting made its debut in the community in 1915. Englefeld incorporated as a village on June 13, 1916.[7] In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Englefeld had a population of 259 living in 105 of its 114 total private dwellings, a change of -9.1% from its 2016 population of 285. With a land area of 0.66 km2 (0.25 sq mi), it had a population density of 392.4/km2 (1,016.4/sq mi) in 2021.[10] In the 2016 Census of Population, the Village of Englefeld recorded a population of 285 living in 107 of its 117 total private dwellings, a 13.3% change from its 2011 population of 247. With a land area of 0.65 km2 (0.25 sq mi), it had a population density of 438.5/km2 (1,135.6/sq mi) in 2016.[11] Hog Fest – The Englefeld Hog Fest was originally organized by Father Florian Renneberg in 1972.[12] The 40th annual fundraising event brought in 1270 people over July long weekend (July 1–3, 2011) which included Canada day fireworks, carnival/farmers market festivities, culminating in a feast with 16 smoked pigs, and closing out with a pancake breakfast.[12] As part of the 25th Hog Fest (celebrated in 1996) a 7 ft tall (17 ft long) fiberglass pig was erected on top of the Koenders Manufacturing building located in Englefeld along Highway 5.

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.
