Manitoba Farm Machinery Bill amendments urged at session
Farm implement dealers and farmers pressed Manitoba officials Tuesday to rethink amendments to the Farm Machinery and Equipment Act.

A Hamiton farmer urged shorter warranty terms to curb rising machinery prices as hours and years of warranties were outlined. The committee will study the bill before a third reading in the House.
