Farm Policy In the Making At Manitoba Farmers Union Meet
District No 4 of the Manitoba Farmers Union held its annual convention on June 24 at the Legion Hall in Plumas with 45 delegates and seven visitors.

Resolutions from Farm Women's Week urged government take over of all Manitoba farm land for leasing to farmers, and a call for stronger farmer action to secure better prices amid rising production costs.
