Agriculture Tidbits on Frost Damage and Hay Prices
Minimal crop damage from late frost in the area according to Otto Penner of Manitoba Agriculture. Very little reseeding needed, but hay crops are down and prices may rise. Pasture land is severely affected and rainfall is needed for a good grain crop. Changes to Crow Benefits elicit mixed reactions across western provinces. Veterinary Services seeks to reinstate 92/93 funding and consider a ten cent per head dead animal levy to cover disposal costs, with RM of Russell council undecided on the proposal.
