Agriculture Canada advises prairie farmers to consider oats as an insurance crop providing three way security. Oats can graze cattle, be cut for green feed or hay, or left to mature for grain, with benefits for marginal land, late spring seeding, and favorable protein and nutrient content.
Manitoba Agriculture Minister Sam Askiw announced the Manitoba Crop Insurance Corporation insured farmers rose from 14 189 in 1975 to 15 176 this year, a net gain of 987 after 892 cancellations. Area losses and moisture boosted new insureds in Dauphin Westlake and Interlake, with total insured acreage up by about 400 000 acres. Insurance value rose from 59.6 million to 126.8 million between 1973 and 1975 and is expected to grow further with normal seeding conditions.
Manitoba will not open a deer season in 1976 as field surveys show herd numbers rising from 37 000 in 1975 to about 57 000 after winter losses. Minister Harvey Bostrom cited habitat deterioration and past heavy hunting as factors in prior years and noted recovery conditions now support a closed season.
