Agriculture: Dry fields and Silver Linings

Welcome to the Connected To The Land podcast, sponsored by Kodiak Boots and Peavey Mart 

On this latest episode, Ian chats with Quick Dick McDick (Dickson Delorme), who is part of a 4000 acre/350 head mixed farming operation near Tuffnell, SK. Dickson grew up just North of Tuffnell, SK on a PFRA community pasture as the son of a working cowboy family where he learned to ride, rope and care for livestock.

Life after school took him out to the oil and gas industry where he worked in the commercial transportation side of well completions for 19 years.  This career took him all across AB, BC and the Territories.

Dickson came back home to Tuffnell in the fall of 2019 and accidentally created a social media persona named Quick Dick McDick.

Now when he is not busy on the farm, Dickson spends his time trying to inspire and inform people of the many things that happen here in Canada that keep us fed, watered and sheltered – all while trying to keep people laughing.

“I’m passionate about agriculture because it, like every other industry, depends on all of us doing our part and working together to keep not just Canada,  but the world fed.”
