REPRINTED' FROM THE
KINCARDINE r,DEPENDENT
• A hobby that aimp)rY got out of 'hand came•
to an end ,Thursday afternoon for a 49 year. '
sold AmberleY man.' •
In' i967 Jack 13aier1 purchased a 100 acre
farm - fOr 'a hobby. Today, nine 7ears
13 farms later„ he :the, proceSs Of
phasing out ,a•million dollar operation:
Jacklin Farms are coming to an end bec-
ause they have grown, too big,. Two to three
hours a day on the phone on farm busines
made. Jack realiie•.a few Months ago that his
hobby Was 'do mote. The time had come to
call it quits.
The first step was the sale of his corn
drying and storage, operation to Parrish and
Reimbecker of Toronto. The firm, which
also owns Knechtel Feeds of Hanover, will •
be taking over 10 acres of land.and an op-
eration that , will dry 1,200 bushels an hour.
Located On Highway 21 just south of, Amber-;
ley, the operation also has storage facil-
ities for a 1/2 million bushels of grain. -.
The grain drying operation, •started seven-
years ago, was the first in this part of
the country— Its original capacity' was -
only 1,200 bushels a day.
Last year 750,000 busbels were handled
'by the Jacklin Farm corn dryine,.equipment
which at the height of the season-goes 24
hours a day. the 24 'hour days ara• another
reason Jack decided it was time' to''get out.
Once the drying operations were. sold,
Jack decided to lease his 1,700 acres of
farmland. - Almost three sections, the land
'is being leased for a five year period by
Curtis Dawsot and Ed Szusz of the Lucknow
area.. ,
, The two big cropS on' the Jacklin Farms
,have been, corn and wheat. There are 650
acres of winter wheat in the ground now.
The remainder of the' land will be used for
corn..
• Last year Jacklin Farms, which employs
10 to 11 people in the fall, :exported
200,000.bushels of corn to Russia through
the,port of Goderich.
,The third part of the phase out operat-
ions came last Thursday when 50 pieces_of
'farm machinery 'went on the auction block.
Jack Baier, owner of Jacklin farms, is pic-
tured with one pf 50 pieces of farm machin-
ery put on the auction block last Thursday.
Conducted by Grant McDonald and Wallace
Ballagh, 'the auction drew farmers from a
wide area of the province.
While , the farming operation will soon be
gone, the hard working blacksmith's son
from'Millbank will not be retiring complet-
ely. '
He has Valley Blades, ,a company in Camb-
ridge iliat produces bulldozer and grader
blades etc.,and Conestoga Cold Storage in.
Kitchener, Idescribed by Jack as "58,000
square feet of 10 below zero". He has
opened up another blade plant in Waterloo
and will have another one in operation in
Edmonton later in the year.
However, there are managers for his other
operations and he will have more time for
himself. Mr. and Mrs. Baier' live in a

new home on the lakeshore in the Amberley
area.
One son Dale; 24,, is manager of the Camb-
ridge blade plant. Another son, Bob, 27,
has been Wotking on the farm but he will ,
likely become inVOlved • in one of the family
• businesses.
Jack "started in busittess„with Ontario
Culvert and' Metal Products'. He later' had.
Carlton'Culvert, Quebec Culvert and Alberta
Culvert, all of which have been sold.
So• a hobby that grew "into a fantastic
business", one. of the largest farming open,
atidns in this part of the country, is be-
ing phased out. s •
But the man who built it has shown that'
hard work can Still' pay. off in ..Canada.
