The organization that represents Manitoba farmers is looking to make agriculture a key priority of the current provincial election.
Keystone Agricultural Producers president Jill Vervey is asking all farmers to reach out to their local candidates to emphasize the role that agriculture plays in our province.
The organization has also released a list of five key priorities that they want addressed during the campaign.
They include removing the education property tax from farmland and passing right-to-repair legislation for farm machinery.
Also on the list are solving labour shortages in agriculture, delivering better healthcare and safety in rural areas, and improving infrastructure such as railways, highways, flood infrastructure, and wireless communication.
