Julius Fahr
Edit ProfileCareer
Fahr immigrated to Canada in 1951 following his studies at a teachers college where he majored in History and Languages, mastering five of them. Shortly after, Fahr became manager of the hatchery and part owner at the firm. During this time, Fahr started farming in East Saint Paul in 1954.
In 1975 Brett Young Seed was sold to Mackenzie Seeds.
In 1973, Fahr combined resources with four other gentlemen to start The Puratone Corporation now one of western Canada’s largest hog operations. He encouraged and supported the company financially throughout its history and particularly during the challenging times.
Fahr found a lot of satisfaction in seeing others succeed. Not only did he significantly invest in Puratone, but he also played an active role in ensuring that individual employees succeeded by providing them the financial resources needed to buy shares in the company, or even buy their shares back when they needed the money for other things.
Fahr was a silent partner in many business and personal ventures.
Fahr was a very optimistic person, showing courage, wisdom and generosity in many situations.
