Sugar beet growers and bison ranchers in North Dakota build profitable, closer-to-farm processing ventures, inspiring Manitoba egg producers to seek similar value-added opportunities. Manitoba lawmakers consider amendments to the Co operatives Act to enable dual roles for farmers as producers and investors.
