On Easy Street for Western Canadian Women Farmers
Western Canada shows women owning and running farms with profit. May Hazlett from Saskatchewan managed her brother’s homestead after his death at Vimy Ridge. Mrs. Mary J. Blackburn expanded near Hardisty from 160 acres to a thriving dairy, proving farming can be a woman’s work. Two Manitoba sisters built a 1120 acre operation with pure-bred stock and substantial dairy profits. Their success challenges the view of farming as a man’s job and echoes the Canada West motto that soil and sun reward effort.
