Outlook for Manitoba Farms in 1971 and Local Conference
The Manitoba Agriculture forecast suggests wheat acreage could rise by 50 percent from 1969, with no durum increase and a 50 percent barley rise to secure supplies. Flax may shrink, oats hold, and rapeseed shift to low erucic varieties by 1972. Brandon Economics Conference will cover farm credit, mortgage burning, stabilization, and grain boards, with a 10 am start and $1 registration. A new oat variety Random was bred but not recommended due to stem rust risk.
