Beausejour Market Days A Century-Old Rural Tradition
Beausejour hosts regular market days drawing farmers from Vermilion Bay and St. Eustache near Portage la Prairie. The Brokenhead Agricultural Society charges a $1 sale display fee to cover taxes on fair grounds while directors inspect pigs each sale day to ensure quality and disease concerns prompt veterinary input. A campaign promotes selling more registered pigs, and market days remain practical business events linking growers directly to buyers.

Agricult Societies Urged Form Small Committees
Manitoba agricultural societies were urged to form small committees and create junior sections to recognize youth talent. J. T. Tolton of Brandon told the Advisory Board that 18 societies should foster independence while balancing government grants to avoid becoming a ward of the government. He urged beautification of farm homes and future rehabilitation of farming families to strengthen the nation.
