Soil Nitrogen Levels Highest on Record in Manitoba
Manitoba farmers face high soil nitrogen after the 1988 drought with samples from the provincial soil fertility lab showing stubble fields at 64 percent above average. The highest readings occur in driest Agrep areas, though a third of fields remain very low to medium in available nitrogen. Factors include a record fertilizer application of 248,000 tonnes and warm soils enhancing organic nitrogen release.

Art Gallery Receives Grant To Boost Regional Gallery
Culture Minister Bonnie Mitchelson and Attorney General Jim McCrae announce a 20000 grant to the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba in Brandon. The grant lifts total department support to 53400 while the gallery already had 25000 from Community Cultural Council and 8400 from Skills Transfer and Public Events Sponsorship. The funding follows a November decision to upgrade the gallery from a community arts council to a professional regional art gallery, reflecting higher costs and government priority outside Winnipeg.
