Hog farming gains ground in rural Manitoba
Hog farming has become vital to rural Manitoba with over 12,000 direct jobs and more than $2 billion in provincial economic impact. Barn sizes dictate staffing from eight to fourteen workers, while payrolls range from $210,000 to $400,000 annually. Hog barns pay 30 percent of assessed value in taxes. Local benefits include new infrastructure, indirect jobs, and kept or expanded schools and libraries. Liquid hog manure is mostly water and serves as a nutrient source, with regulations requiring manure management plans for large operations.
