New boundaries
Manitoba Natural Resources has created a Canada goose management block and changed the boundaries of two game hunting areas.
The goose block, developed to set bag limits without affecting hunting activity, is centered around the Oak Hammock managed hunting area.
The boundary between game hunting areas 1 and 2 has been moved west to the Churchill River and west along side of Range 19 east.
The boundary between hunting areas 18A and 18B have also been moved between the rural municipalities of Mountain and Minitonas.
Farm management club
A farm management club manual is being released by the Agriculture Institute of Management.
The manual helps farmers establish farm management clubs in their own communities.
The clubs are composed of people who meet regularly to discuss management ideas, methods, skills and issues related to farming.
Farm management clubs are composed of production clubs that focus on production and costs, marketing clubs that provide a better understanding on fundamentals, and business management clubs that focus on planning and finances.
