Background:
This case involved disputes over the dissolution of a family farming operation in Saskatchewan, including land, equipment, and harvested crops.

Key Issues and Rulings:

1. Land Ownership (NW 15 and NW 8):

   • NW 15: Armand Aalbers was confirmed as the registered owner; equitable claims were deferred to trial.
   • NW 8: Ownership remained with John and Helena Aalbers; trust claims were unproven.

2. Ceres Global Funds:

   • $100,000 in grain sale proceeds was awarded to Armand, as the grain was grown on his land.

3. Farm Machinery and Equipment:

   • CR9090 Combine: Armand was confirmed as the owner.
   • Header: Shared ownership between Armand and Patrick Aalbers’ estate.
   • Grain bins: Some ownership claims were settled; others deferred to trial.

4. Harvested Crops (2018):

   • Ownership was based on the land where crops were grown. Claims about inputs and expenses were left for trial.

5. Canary Seed (2005):

   • Ownership awarded to John Aalbers, pending trial on broader claims.

6. Preservation Order:

   • A preservation order for grain sale proceeds was set aside for insufficient analysis.

Outcome:
Most rulings were interim, leaving key disputes for trial. Costs were not awarded to any party.
