Yellow Grass economy

Yellow Grass has a primary agrarian economy, with most of the residents working as farmers, or providing services to farmers. Primary crops grown around Yellow Grass are wheat, durum wheat, barley, lentils, peas, canola, and flax; some producers also raise beef cattle. There are also several game ranches that raise bison, elk and wild boar. A tertiary service industry provides general services for town residents and travellers along Highway 39. A substantial number of residents also work in factories, the health sector and retail sales in the nearby small city of Weyburn. Some also work in the oilfields.

Yellow Grass has gone through a couple of boom cycles in the early years of the town. The first boom started in 1899, when most of the original town infrastructure was founded.

The second and by far the biggest boom started in the post war years and continued until the late 1920s as the trading area of the region. The building of Highway 39 and access to larger centres marked the beginning of decline of Yellow Grass as a commercial centre. The onset of the Great Depression and substantial crop failures would take its toll on the town.^[3] The Great Depression started after October 29, 1929, known as Black Tuesday. ...

The agricultural industry made a recovery in the post-World War II years with record setting crops, and the community recovered its municipal services. In the last few decades the economy has been relatively stagnant, with most of the town's youth leaving to find employment in larger communities. Pressures on farming due to weather and high fuel and equipment costs have been keeping the growth of agriculture in check.

Climate and Geography

Yellow Grass is in a region of Canada known as the Great Plains, and situated well into the Canadian prairies. The area is generally flat, but provides excellent land for large scale farming. A few small, intermittent lakes populate the surrounding area. These lakes form as a result of the spring runoff when the snow melts, and vary in size depending on annual rainfall. In hot, dry years, the lakes can completely disappear, as no streams or rivers drain into the lakes. The Great Plains covers much of the central United States, portions of Canada and Mexico. ...

These storms have sometimes knocked over buildings, such as the Yellow Grass Hockey Rink in 1940. The hail from these thunderstorms can also damage crops. In the winter the area usually receives snow in violent and windy blizzards. Occasionally winter storms will bring with them huge snow falls, compounded by strong winds. Snow tends to collect in drifts that can reach the roofs of buildings. This does not cite any references or sources. ... Look up Blizzard in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...
