HUMBOLDT — On June 26, the City of Humboldt, with a large crowd gathered at the Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute, unveiled a powerful new tribute to the manufacturers of the Iron Triangle region — a striking sculpture created by Humboldt artist Tyler Dies.
In a post from the City of Humboldt, officials said: “Crafted primarily from donated parts, the piece reflects the strength of our agricultural roots and the partnerships that have driven the region’s growth. This public art project, led by the Humboldt Public Art Committee in collaboration with the Humboldt Cultural Services Department, honours the legacy of settlers, farmers and the manufacturers who helped shape the West.”
"With the help of work horses, settlers pushed West. They worked the prairies into productive farmland. Over time, the drive to improve quality of life in Saskatchewan led to the success of several agriculture machinery manufacturers in the area. sometimes referred to as the Iron Triangle," it says on the plaque.
Unveiled as part of PAMI’s 50th anniversary celebrations, the sculpture is a meaningful addition to the city’s landscape, connecting Humboldt’s past with the innovation that continues to shape its future, the city said.
Mayor Rob Muench and members of council took part in the celebration. The City of Humboldt thanked the sponsors who made this art piece possible — and thanks to PAMI for providing a home for the sculpture just off Highway 5.
