Syd began his writing career when he was hired in 1956 by Deere and Company's agricultural magazine, The Furrow. The Furrow is the oldest continually published agricultural magazine in the world, beginning in 1895. Syd was eventually assigned to cover all of Canada.

His knowledge was often sought out as he was seen as an expert on Canadian farming. He retired from this position in 1986, but his writing lives on.
Syd loved house boating on the Mississippi and watching migrating birds. He also loved working at the homestead land in Kansas as a young man.
