The Rural Municipality of Ethelbert has Now declared a state of agricultural disaster.
between the first of May and the first of July, 163 percent more rain fell on the area than the 30 average before it, roughly 223mm of rain.
This follows suit with the RM of Mossey River, and the RM of Dauphin, who hope these collective efforts could lead to more financial aid to producers beyond the standard crop insurance.
Their Statement notes that they've been plagued with overland flooding, inaccessible fields, and issues in hay cutting and cattle health water-logged pastures.
