Hay shortages raise transportation of forages and limit farmer choice for weed free forage. Practical steps include sourcing information on typical forage crop weeds and restricting cattle ranging areas to curb weed spread.
Agricultural tips discuss weed control in pastures and crop injury from Treflon herbicide with reseeding cautions. The Roblin RCMP identify project outlines for home item marking using electric engraving to deter theft and aid recovery, plus safety notes on graduation parties and a prior minor accident.
A Roblin council session saw delays after a delegation from trustee Borden Hawryluk and Intermediate School principal Dave McGill sought post adjournment talks. Reeve Perchaluk criticized Winnipeg papers and noted print affiliations while clarifying ownership in local papers.
Weekend showers varied by location with reports from traces to over two inches. Moisture helps, but most areas still need a substantial three day rain to relieve the drought.
Flexible evening hours may be arranged as homeowners may be working. Sergeant Bill McRae says the RCMP will supply marking services to identify properties if residents are not home during regular hours.
Dayson warned of potential hay shortages from Saskeram after touring the supply area. He noted some land may not be available for hay supplies as previously thought. In 1961 Roblin municipal areas bought 116000 tons from Saskeram to meet needs.
The article notes two high school students were killed in vehicle related accidents this year, prompting administrators to warn about risks before and after formal graduation ceremonies and urge awareness of consequences and alternatives in planning celebrations.
The article notes both sides agreeing the bridge is too narrow and will need replacement after road renovations. Department of Highways says the current crossing remains satisfactory but will be replaced eventually, though funds are not available now.
The Highways delegation prioritizes road system changes to reduce curves and improve safety on the thoroughfare. Corkal notes the bridge is a concern but most complaints center on highway safety and accident reduction. Recommendations meet provincial standards and, once renovations finish, safer road standards will be achieved. Council passed a resolution backing the first renovation proposal. Hillsburg is expected to follow at its next meeting.
