Waterfowl crop damage program extended in Manitoba
Manitoba and federal officials extend the Waterfowl Crop Damage Prevention Program for a fourth year with an estimated 300000 in funding. The plan uses alternate feeding sites and scare methods including cannons and cracker shells to deter ducks geese and sandhill cranes from grain crops. Producers are urged to monitor fields for early feeding and seek loan materials from the Department of Natural Resources in Shoal Lake to construct scarecrows and use propane bangers.
