Kris Wolosuk
Featured Grower
Hi, my name is Kris Wolosuk and my farm name is D. Wolosuk Farms. Currently I farm in the Vauxhall area and I have been farming for 25 years.
Tell me about your farming background?
Our family has been involved in agriculture for five generations. The fifth generation is just starting to farm now. We grow sugar beets, wheat, seed canola, beans and potatoes. I grow sugar beets because it is a good cash crop and it is a vital part of our farming operation. With Roundup ready technology, growing sugar beets has become more profitable and less labor intensive.
I have two sons that are back on the farm with me. My dad also helps during seeding and harvest. My wife does our books and takes care of the farm safety and CanadaGAP paperwork. I have a son in high school who is also showing interest in farming as well.
What are some short term or long-term goals for your operation?
I would say my goal would be to keep the farm in our family for many future generations. I want to give my kids the opportunity to farm like I was given.
Why did you choose farming as your career?
I always had an interest in farming since I was a young kid. It is a great lifestyle and the idea of owning and operating my own business appealed to me. It is also a great environment for raising a family.
