Saskatchewan - Land Of The Living Skies

On our journey from Drumheller to Saskatoon we left Alberta and entered Saskatchewan, our third Canadian province.

 

Saskatchewan is known for its agriculture (mainly wheat), oil and mining (largest exporter of potash in the world).  Much of the farming is now done by large corporations that have bought over the smaller family farms.  This consolidation has changed the pattern of local communities and there is evidence of closed schools and abandoned buildings all over the Prairies.
