From the Farm View - Duthie Farms

Craig Bews adopted variable rate technology on his Eatonia, SK farm over a decade ago.

Bews has always had a passion for farming. A third generation farmer, Bews and his son, Darren, farm 10,000 acres in west central Saskatchewan. After trying a variety of crops over the years, they now grow primarily durum, canola and red lentils. The name ‘Duthie Farms’ derives from Craig’s paternal grandmother, a nod to the generation that started the farm in 1910. Craig’s uncle believed that the introduction of hydraulics had the biggest impact on agriculture during his lifetime. Today, Bews believes GPS may be the biggest game-changer, and one of the ways GPS helps change agriculture is by facilitating variable rate applications.
