Historic Sites of Manitoba: Carter Farm Silo (RM of La Broquerie)A concrete silo and the outlines of a few buildings south of Marchand, in the Rural Municipality of La Broquerie, are all that remains of a “package farm” sold in the 1920s by entrepreneur Watson P. Davidson to farmer Ben Carter and his wife. The top of the silo was damaged when a passing tornado dislodged the roof of the adjacent barn and threw it against the silo.
