Dauphin MLA and provincial Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn took part in two special announcements on Wednesday.
Kostyshyn, along with Federal Agriculture Minister Heath McDonaald, announced support measures to aid Manitoba livestock and grain producers affected by drought conditions this year.
Manitoba Agriculture Services Corporation is going to provide support measures through its AgriInsurance program, which will improve cash flow for producers needing to secure additional feed for their livestock.
Kostyshyn says producers looking to access some of this support should contact their closest MASC office shortly.
"And get the real serious details about what is required. But I think time is of the essence right now for the benefit of the beef producers, to make some arrangements with the grain producers, or even possibly within their own farming operations."
Also on Wednesday,the federal and provincial governments announced a 6 million dollar investment in sustainable food production and food production facilities.
