Treat field burners fairly say Manitoba farmer at hearing
Dennis Trinder a cattle and grains farmer from the Rural Municipality of Russell urged the Clean Environment Commission not to impose province wide rules on stubble burning near urban areas. He cited improved soil management and education as reducing burning. Agrologist Dale Partridge cited a Manitoba Agriculture survey showing burn rates declined from about 60 percent to 3 percent in Russell and Shoal Lake areas with most burning occurring northwest and southwest of Winnipeg.
