History

noimagenoimage Barlow Farms started when the Hall family came over from Scotland in 1843. The original house still stands on what is now Southbrook Golf Course just south of Binbrook. Much of the original land is still in the family and has been cropped for over 150 years. The farm was a mixed farm with grain, hay, livestock and lumber being produced up until around 1950 when cash cropping and dairy became the predominant businesses. Earl & Joan Barlow took over the family farm in 1970 and sold the dairy. Cash cropping has been the mainstay ever since.

In 1979 a public grain elevator was built on an adjoining property and grain from all over was brought in. Since then the elevator has had up to three dryers, a cleaner system installed and tripled in capacity. Nowadays the elevator is not public and is only used for processing and storage of grain for Barlow Farms.
