Galloway's Outfit Fort Saskatchewan, 1928

A glimpse of prairie farming near Fort Saskatchewan in 1929, with Galloway’s harvesting outfit at work in the field. The photograph captures an era when mechanized equipment was rapidly changing how Alberta farms operated, with an early tractor working alongside a large harvesting machine.

The machinery may have changed considerably since 1929, but the wide-open field is unmistakably Alberta. A wonderful piece of agricultural history and a look at the people and machines that helped work the province’s prairie landscape.
