- This short documentary examines how 7 farm families in Lestock, Saskatchewan, have pooled their resources so that rising operating costs will not drive them off their land. By pooling their land, their equipment, their livestock, and farming as a cooperative, they are able to live as they choose, to maintain their standard of living, and even to have some spare time left over to enjoy. An engaging look at a novel approach to big-scale farming.
Directed by Ian McLaren - 1974 | 27 min

Grey up in sask. went to school in lestock. Was a great little town and man my life was great!!
My grandfather on my dads side was from Lestock, wonder if they were one of the families
As of 2018, this was produced 44 years ago. I wonder what happened to them?
The inuit always lived in togethernes, but free to move. Their costums were sharing and working together, building houses, hunting a.s.o. Feasting and eating and discussing. Younger people here about also help each other today, having fun and meals in between. You have to in order to survive
Cool. My dad had a McKee harvester. Think they a great way to put up feed .
I’m sure the company served them well
Thanks to video
'We know the other guys are at least smart enough to vote NDP'... not many smart farmers left on the prairies these days, that's for sure.
Lol the pool was the worst thing for farmers..Farmers are prospering more now then they ever have.
I wonder if any one managed to get that loose calf back into the pasture yet?
Never new Kramer was a Farmer before he moved in with Seinfeld in New York
Lol i was gonna say the same thing..
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is it possible to get the intro song somewhere?
They never made it because of lack of scale of economy
Huh? They grew to be worth 1.5 billion dollars, then fell from grace but have since made a resurgence. They absolutely succeeded.
I hope were not here to stay..If the west stays in canada were going down with a sinking ship..
