Soybean Testing Needs Time forlicence in 1979 planting
Agriculture Canada researchers reported at the 1977 Manitoba Agronomists Conference that soybean varieties require a second year of testing before licensing. The study, by Stauffer Bailey Chow at Morden and Brandon stations, notes weed control is critical, seeding rates, depth and timing, and that the new line could be grown in 40 000 to 50 000 hectares in Manitoba. Ontario led Canadian production with 2.3 tonnes per hectare in 1975 76. A USDA line may be licensed and released in 1979.

Manitoba Conservatives Cut Taxes and Abolish Estate Duties
Premier Sterling Lyon's government moved quickly in its first session ending December 12 to abolish succession and gift taxes and the mineral acreage tax. A two point cut in personal and small corporate income taxes in 1978 was announced, with modest savings for most Manitobans. Opposition critiques and fiscal notes followed as the session also addressed group home smoke detectors and reform efforts in family law, amid a rural-leaning new cabinet and a brief, costed legislative run.
