Man Mana chapter outlines 1982 83 agriculture spending
Agriculture Minister Bill Uruski outlined the department’s 1982-83 spending estimates to the Legislature. Expenditures of 42.1 million dollars, an eight percent rise, fund existing programs and the new voluntary beef income stabilization plan plus capital needs for the Manitoba Agricultural Credit Corporation and the Manitoba Water Services Board. Prime concerns include price and income stabilization for hog and beef cattle producers, improved loan programs to counter high interest rates, and tighter limits on absentee ownership of agricultural land to protect family farms. The minister pledges income support for hog and cattle producers, a review of the Credit Corporation’s capacity, and emphasis on transportation policy, marketing concepts, and follow-up on Agro-Man. Additional funding will boost veterinary care, weed control, dairy herd and hog improvement programs, farm and community water projects, irrigation policy, and the Farm Management 3 home study course.
