Manitoba rural voice at Union conference proposes wildlife crop aid
The Union of Manitoba farmers held a conference November 23 to 26 with over 800 delegates debating 60 resolutions. A key measure urged full government compensation for wildlife damaged crops, while another sought aid to maintain nonprofit recreation facilities. The event also voted against Sunday Wey and proposed funneling 25 percent of Lottery Terminals funds back to municipalities. Valley farmers report rising wheat donations totaling 320 tonnes to aid hunger, aided by CIDA and feeding 42,000 in a Zimbabwe border camp in 1991.
