Farmers unite to fight soil erosion in Manitoba
About 40 farmers in the Albert Edward and Arthur RMs formed the Sandy Lands Soil Management Association to install 12 miles of new shelterbelts and renovate older belts. Shelterbelts reduce wind erosion and help retain soil organic matter and nitrogen, supporting yields as topsoil is lost. The group promotes conservation tillage and green manures under the Canada-Manitoba Agri-Food agreement.
