The application for Ag Action Manitoba Assurance: Beneficial Management Practice has been extended by a month.
The Ag Action Manitoba Program helps agricultural producers protect ground and surface water sources that are essential to ensuring the health of livestock and groundwater sources.
Items eligible for cost-shared funding include:
• water source development, constructing new or rehabilitating existing wells or dugouts
• solar, wind or grid-powered alternative watering systems
• permanent fencing to restrict livestock access to surface water and dugouts
• permanent pipeline development
Agriculture and Resource Development Minister Ralph Eichler says the government is committed to ensuring producers have options when it comes to dealing with drought.
“By extending this application deadline, we will ensure that more producers will be able to apply and get assistance when they need it most.”
Applications are now being taken until October 1st. More information can be found here.
