Crown lands, disaster aftermath top MBP’s advocacy agenda

Agricultural Crown lands continue to be a top priority for the Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP), says general manager Carson Callum.

This is an important file for MBP,” he said. “MBP continues to advocate in our submissions for things like the continuation of unit transfers, adjustment to the auction process, and better ways to value the leaseholder improvements.”

Callum was speaking at the South Interlake Rockwood Ag Society on Oct. 19 during the first of eight MBP district meetings that will run through Nov. 8.

Beef producers will get the overview of their provincial industry association’s activities last year and where things sit with the files on MBP’s plate.
