Southwest farmers combat drought with soil care in Manitoba
Manitoba southwest farmers boost drought resilience by keeping crop residue to trap snow and slow evaporation. Seeding into stubble reduces moisture loss and costs while improving soil structure. Local conservation groups offer zero tillage, shelterbelt planting, and Farming for Tomorrow support with technical services and demonstrations at a new Conservation Tillage Productivity Centre in Minto.
