Manitoba Soil Testing Lab Pins Down Plant Nutrition
Manitoba farmers submit soil samples to the Pro Vincial Soil Testing Laboratory where a series of well established tests determine texture acidity salinity and nutrient levels including nitrate nitrogen phosphorus and potassium. Field research supports updated recommendations guiding lime use and fertilizer rates, with composite sampling across depths to reflect average field conditions and potential fertilizer savings or yield improvements.

Dairy Aid Policy Sets $4 Milk Support From April 1
Agriculture Minister Greene announced a new dairy policy in the Commons to guarantee dairy farmers a return of $4 per hundredweight for milk used to manufacture butter and other products. The policy starts in the dairy year beginning April 1 and relies on direct monthly or quarterly government payments to farmers. The move aligns with farm groups' demand for a $4 price and accompanies Liberal promises of tax relief and broader programs. The $4 level covers milk testing 3.5 percent butterfat delivered to the factory.

Four thousand pounds to Manitoba farmers, two thousand to Saskatchewan, and one thousand to Alberta will be available this year at one dollar per pound.
