Manitoba farmers save on insecticides this year
Agriculture Minister Sam Uskiw announced 245,000 acres were sprayed this year. 200,000 acres infested by grasshoppers and 45,000 by Bertha Army worms received insecticide, with two programs cutting farmer costs by about half. Dimethoate and lannate were sold at cost or with subsidies, easing prices from 21.50 to about 10.75 per gallon for dimethoate and from 9.75 to 8.15 per pound for lannate, yielding roughly 18,000 in total farmer savings. The worst-hit areas included Swan River valley and the Red River valley, with infestations expected to rise 25 percent next year.
