Jim MacPherson notes Whitemud Watershed offers gully stabilization forage seed reforestation and shelterbelt programs plus a small dam initiative. Dams mainly earth fill with possible spillways designed to curb spring runoff but not flood control. All structures require Water Rights Act licensing surveying and careful design to withstand heavy rainfall.
Farmers may qualify for Watershed aid to build small dams protecting reservoirs and enabling long term water supply. Applicants pay 15 percent of the first 2000 dollars and 100 percent of costs above 2000, with most dams under that amount. Forms available in Neepawa and Ag Offices in Portage la Prairie Carberry Minnedosa Gladstone. Contact Grant Fraser or Tom Lamont at Neepawa Watershed, 476 2305.

He also defended Simplot fertilizer plant jobs in Brandon, though Agriculture Minister Sam Askiw criticized the public financing and price guarantees in the loan terms.
