Federal program aids Manitoba livestock maintenance plan
Manitoba Agriculture Minister Jim Downey lauds the federal herd maintenance subsidy as positive and essential while seeking broader coverage for other farm sectors. The $60 million program targets producers who keep at least 70 percent of basic herds, offering up to 70 dollars per beef cow, 140 dollars per dairy cow, and 16 dollars per sheep in severe drought areas, with scaled aid for 50 to 75 percent crop insurance scenarios.
