A short feature on progressive farming methods in OxBow District highlights the importance of practical systems on a large farm. The piece notes Mr Hamilton and Sta Bros for their leadership, equipment, and routines that keep operations efficient and crew morale high.
The writer, with Jas Thrower of Oxbow Photo Studio, toured Staples Bros.'s large farm eight miles northeast of Oxbow in the Palestine district. The visit showcased massive wheat fields, extensive barns, 83 horses, 73 Shorthorn cattle, 65 Yorkshire pigs, and 17 quarter sections of land. The operation includes a windmill driven deep well, a machine shed, and a capable repairs crew, reflecting efficient big‑scale farming by promoters expanding beyond average farming.
