Manitoba Farm Population Declines Post War
Manitoba’s farm population fell from 86,505 in 1986 to 79,610 in 1991, with the number of farms dropping from 27,336 to 25,706 as post war trends and economies of scale shape a larger, more mechanized industry. Deputy Minister Donald Zasada notes agriculture accounts for about 12 percent of GDP and supports a growing agri-food sector, exporting to the US and beyond.
