Manitoba Chicken Producers (MCP) will begin taking applications on October 10, 2017 from Manitobans interested in becoming registered chicken broiler farmers.
Applicants will be selected by random draw for one of six new quota registrations, each for 30,000 kilograms.
These quotas will be phased into production, two per year for three years.
“Population increases and strong demand for chicken created this opportunity to expand chicken farming in Manitoba. We’re excited to offer new quota allotments, and add six more farms to the industry.” said Jake Wiebe, Chair of Manitoba Chicken Producers.
