HistoryOutdoor

Canada’s experimental farms system was established in 1886 by a federal government to introduce profitable new methods and products.

The Brandon Experimental Farm is one of the original five. It was acquired in 1888. It has tested and introduced crops, livestock and cultivation techniques adapted to the eastern prairies.
