NFU Manitoba criticizes drought aid role and process
Kenneth Sigurdson, NFU Manitoba Regional Coordinator, challenges the drought program as announced. He says NFU was not consulted, urges township-based loss consideration, and calls for a broader program addressing weather damage and low grain prices rather than a single $62.5 million allocation. He argues that regional fairness is at stake and questions political advocacy by MP Brian White.
