Farm Equipment Regulation Updates and GST Change Notes
Changes to the Highway Traffic Act require amber beacons or equivalent warning lights on overwidth farm equipment and enable newer tractors with flashing lights to be recognized. Beacons must be visible from 1 kilometre, with a two year rebate deadline for farm fuel under GST. Crop disease control stresses crop rotation to curb tan spot and septoria in wheat and canola, with four year cycles recommended for canola and caution against annual wheat on wheat.

Farmers urged to accurately calculate GRIP coverage in Manitoba
Dr. Clay Gilson of Manitoba Crop Insurance warns that revenue insurance targets use the long term average yield, while crop insurance coverage is 70 or 80 percent of that yield. Farmers must divide their crop insurance coverage by 0.7 or 0.8 to get target revenue. Enrolment closes April 30 for 1991 GRIP. Local agents and the Manitoba Agriculture Office provide details. Toll free line 1 800 561 6578 operates 9 to 5 weekdays.
