Computers Boost Counselling for Manitoba Farmers
Manitoba Agriculture chief Gerry Therrien says computers enhance counselling by giving quick, tailored answers to farming problems. They simulate many input scenarios from field to cost, enabling cost per hectare checks, fertilizer needs, drying costs, and equipment choices, reducing risk and aiding loan solvency. Farmers can access this service at local ag rep offices.
