His formal schooling was obtained in a rural school, in Melfort High School and in the School of Agriculture at the University of Saskatchewan. Except for two years when he worked for a farm implement agency in Melfort, Saskatchewan, his home and his career has been on the family farm at Pleasant Valley. He was a school trustee in his district for 22 years; a councillor of the Rural Municipality of Flett’s Springs No. 276 for 10 years; president of the Saskatchewan Agricultural Societies Association; director and chairman of livestock and oil co-operatives; Saskatchewan Wheat Pool delegate for 17 years; 4-H Club leader for five years; and a board member of the 4-H Foundation, convener of farm boys’ camps; a board member of Northern Co-operative Trading and Co-operative Fisheries; a member of the provincial council of the Commonwealth Co-operative Federation; a member of the Saskatchewan Jubilee committee (1955); and a member of the Thompson Advisory Committee on Medical Care (1959-1961). Whiting served 12 years (1946-1958) on the Board of Governors of the University of Saskatchewan, five as chairman. He was honoured by the Saskatchewan Agricultural Graduates, Saskatchewan Agricultural Societies, the Melfort Agricultural Society, the Melfort Credit Union, Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and the Canadian Council on 4-H Clubs. He received the Co-operative Certificate of Merit. In 1963 the University of Saskatchewan conferred on him an honourary Doctor of Laws degree.
