Exterior view of the barn at the Melfort Research Station, a right-angled barn with white trim around the doors and three cupolas on top windows. About 1968 this barn was moved to Walter Kiverago’s farm. From 1936 to 1947, new buildings, including a bungalow, a four-suite residence, a carpenter shop, and two piggeries were built.

The building on the left was the Seed Cleaning Plant, the lower building on the right was the Hog Barn. The cleaning plant was used to clean seed for farmers and then in later years it was used by the station for storing feed.

Forage harvesting research was started in 1971 in co-operation with the Engineering Research Service at Ottawa. Forage produced under various systems was evaluated by feeding to beef cattle. A hay-drying tower, the first on the continent, was built in 1971. It had a capacity of more than 80 tonnes dry matter. The first forage systems engineer was hired in 1973 Dr. W. Coates. The metal roof, suspended with a winch system, is supported by 4, H beams, bolted to metal plates anchored in concrete piles.
