Laranda and Robert Bailey left Winnipeg for greener pastures in southwestern Manitoba 10 years ago - and they haven't looked back.
They settled in Hargrave, just west of Virden, in the former home of Laranda's grandparents, where they run a grain and oilseed farm and also raise cattle and chickens.
But agriculture is only their side job.
"I am a field operator in the oilfield and a part-time farmer, too," said Robert, standing near a stack of round bales in his yard.
In addition to being a farmer, Laranda - who previously worked at a grain elevator in the area - is now the head librarian of the Border Regional Library, which has branches in Virden and the nearby communities of Elkhorn and McAuley.
So an Oil rig worker and librarian with a hobby farm plus helping out with family farming. I wonder what they pull in annually? Busy non the less.
