Prime Minister Joe Clark announced a federal plan to spend 200 million dollars renting 2,000 extra grain hopper cars over two years to ease grain shipments to ports and boost exports. The rollout targets March to December 1980 with 12,000 cars expected to allow 22 million tonnes of grain to be shipped abroad by 1985.
Premier Sterling Lyon and J. Finn Johnston announced the SAFER program to cut rents for elderly renters with low or moderate income. Eligible seniors 65 plus pay more than 30 percent of income, with sliding-scale monthly grants up to $205 for singles and $225 for couples, to help remain in current housing.
Agriculture Today notes past extra costs kept fields unsampled for sulphur due to high analysis fees. In Russell area many fields show low sulphur risk, especially rapeseed. Trials at George McCrindle and Paul Orsack farms showed no clear yield gains from added sulphur. Effective immediately the Manitoba Provincial Soil Testing Laboratory offers 4 sulphur analysis within Complete Soil Testing Package at $10 per field, replacing prior separate tests. The new pricing consolidates tests and ends the $1 per field volume discount, with some exceptions for small garden samples.
Manitoba agriculture expert Dave Campbell urges producers to assess feed stocks now to bridge a likely hard winter. Despite good regional production in places, overall supplies are adequate but demand for exports grows. Options include late seeded cereals, using straw with balanced rations, autumn hay cuts with six inches of stubble to trap snow, or buying nearby hay within 40 to 80 kilometers. Plan on feed analysis rather than estimates.
