The area around ‘Linklater Switchback’ was first homesteaded in the late 1800s, forming the small hamlet of Linklater, a community that once supported its own grain elevator and country school. Located just four miles west of Reston, Manitoba, the countryside reflects the diversity early settlers relied on when they first broke the land: hay for livestock, productive cropland, and low-lying areas that attracted waterfowl. Those natural hollows remain today, preserving a piece of the land’s original character and serving as a reminder of its balance between productivity and wilderness. The discovery of oil in the 1950s brought additional income to the region, further shaping its agricultural and economic history.
Don’t let the natural hollows throughout ‘Linklater Switchback’ fool you; while the aerial imagery may suggest otherwise, the cultivated ground is classified as number 2 soil, according to Manitoba Soil Maps, offering strong agricultural capability. Modern sectional-controlled equipment easily navigates around wet spots with no overlap, allowing efficient farming while respecting the land’s natural contours. This adaptability makes the quarter well-suited to today’s precision agriculture practices.
After being held in the same family for three generations, ‘Linklater Switchback’ is ready for its next chapter to be written. Made up of a total of 153 acres, there are approximately 110 acres currently under cultivation, producing a diverse rotation that includes wheat, canola, flax, corn, soybeans, and barley. With some care and improvement, additional acres could be brought into production. ‘Linklater Switchback’ enjoys excellent access, with RTAC Highway 2 to the east and a well-maintained gravel road along the south boundary, ensuring ease of movement for equipment and grain hauling. Rich in history, versatility, and future potential, ‘Linklater Switchback’ continues to offer both productivity and promise.
