Manitoba Budget Proposes Growth Tax Access For Municipalities
Premier Schreyer outlines plan to shift two points of personal income tax and one point of corporate tax to municipalities starting next year. Revenue sharing would replace unconditional grants, with direct payments on a per capita basis and potential expansion if a majority of municipalities opt in. The budget includes enabling legislation for growth taxes, transit funding reforms, and continued provincial support to reduce reliance on property taxes.

Emergency Pasture Oats Provide Security For Manitoba Farms
A Manitoba farmer reports that planting oats for pasture helped his 35 cow herd when pasture ran short last summer. Oats sown for pasture offer three way security by supplying midsummer grazing, green feed, silage, or hay, while maintaining or boosting milk production with less labour. Seeding oats for pasture can extend forage into August but may reduce grain harvest opportunities.
