It calls for a federal provincial investment committee, a rural redevelopment push, education funding growth, and expanded manpower training. The plan stresses agriculture, water and mineral industries, and the Nelson River project as pivotal to future opportunity. It notes many farms are small and urges coordinated action across agencies to sustain growth.

Insurance May Soon Include Hail Insurance May Soon Include
Agriculture Minister George Hutton said the department has discussed with federal officials adding hail insurance to Manitoba crop coverage. He noted farmers want extended protection and an optional clause may be added to the crop insurance plan. Froese questioned why hail coverage isn’t available. Hutton said participation rose to 52 percent, with plans to reach 90 percent, under a program guaranteeing up to 60 percent of long term average yield for minimum income.
