Manitoba farm population decline demands action
Manitoba’s farm population fell 8.1 percent from 2001 to 2006 to 62,930 while total population rose to 1,148,400. The piece argues farm groups have been too mild and slow, urging bold government pressure, better slaughter options, and unity among producers to protect food security and rural livelihoods. It cites hog moratorium, BSE, and calls for politically influential, proactive farming organizations.
