The federal and Manitoba governments have contributed $860,000 to the Rural Municipality of Bifrost’s excess water management model initiative.
The funding will help develop a water management plan for the RM and local areas to help control moisture and flood conditions over multiple years.
Keystone Agricultural Producers said the model is a step forward in addressing excess moisture and flood conditions on farmland.
KAP said the management plan is important, but funding must also be committed to drainage and maintenance infrastructure.
