HAFFORD TEAM

Harlene Simmonds

Owner

I was raised on a farm between Radisson and Hafford. I attended Hafford Central School from Grades 1 to 12. In Grade 7 my parents quit farming, moved to Hafford and I became a “Town Kid”. I graduated from Saskatoon Business College, then worked for the Royal Bank of Canada in Saskatoon and then when I married Rick Simmonds and moved to our present farm, I transferred to the Royal Bank in North Battleford. I worked there until I had our 1^st child. Together Rick and I started what is now AgriTeam and the rest is history. We have 3 children, Dallas (Mallory) and children Warner, Parker and Rachel; Lindsey (Lance) Walker and children Liam, Isabella, Connor and Lainey; Tennille (Brandon) Hall and children Scarlett, Savannah and Heidi.

“Born and raised on a farm south of the small community of Mayfair, Sk. I attended Mayfair School up to Grade 4 before transferring to Hafford, where I completed my Grade 12. Following Graduation, I attended the University of Saskatchewan for one year then continued my studies at Lakeland College Vermillion. I completed my Diploma in Animal Science, then carried on to get my Diploma in Agribusiness. I started working for AgriTeam Services Inc. in the summer of 2013 as their summer student, and now I am happy to be working full time as their Agronomist and Sales Person. I couldn’t ask for a better company and group of employees to work with.”

“I grew up North of Blaine Lake, Sk., on a mixed family farm consisting of cattle and grain, raising both commercial and purebred Charolais cattle. My wife and I, along with our son are the fifth generation to be a part of the family farm operations. In 2016 I graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a Degree in Agribusiness, and soon after started working here at AgriTeam Services, where I strive every day to learn more about agriculture for both myself and our customers. My hope is that I can portray my passion for agriculture through to our customers and help them further their farm and business. I continue to look forward to dealing with all the great people in the agriculture industry.”
