Hytek Farm - 1 and 2 Mr. Paul Vielfaure
Hytek Farm La Broquerie, Manitoba


The definition of what's a farm has changed a lot you understand, you have to realize that today a farm is a high tech business, 200 hectares, 200,000 hogs, 100 million in sales and 300 employees. Yet at the end of the day, theoretically, there are four owners, the Vielfaure family and the Johnson family, and they're the ones that built Hytek into what it is today. So the family farm, like my father or your father used to know, that doesn't exist any more. There's a whole new definition of farming.
