Gasohol Plant Bonus to Agriculture in Manitoba
Mohawk Oil plans Canada's first gasohol alcohol plant in Minnedosa Manitoba to use up to 700000 bushels of grain annually. The project creates a cash market for farmers and may spur alternate crop farming while restoring a closed distillery and creating about 20 initial jobs. The move follows a May tax cut and provincial support for gasohol production.

Manitoba Waives Dugout Filling Charge for 1980
Winnipeg A $200 fee for digging out and filling dugouts by the Manitoba Department of Agriculture is waived for 1980 to aid drought hit livestock producers. Downey said the relief may shift workload later, with labor, tractor power and fuel provided by farmers and priority given to dairy, beef, hogs, and domestic farm uses. Producers already charged since April 1 will be reimbursed in full.
