NFU critiques 2012 federal budget impacts on farmers
The National Farmers Union voices disappointment but not surprise at Canada's 2012 budget. It calls for CGC funding to remain public, warns against fee for service, flags potential label and trade policy changes, and criticizes shifts toward private research and weakened supply management. The union urges protections for farmers, food sovereignty, and transparent transition plans for the Wheat Board.

Breeding Management For More Pigs In Manitoba
Manitoba extension notes maximize sows heat return after weaning with Monday to Wednesday breeding. Gilts should nurse few piglets, cross fostering if needed, and be bred after returning to heat. After breeding, reduce feed to cut embryonic losses and improve farrowing rates and piglets born alive. Ron Bazylo of MAFRI underscores breeding management as key to hog production profitability.
