Health and wellness front and centre at Manitoba Ag Days 2023

The last two years have been strange ones, as the pandemic played havoc with people’s health and tested the world’s economy.

Production of goods and commodities slowed and stopped, supply chains were strained and farmers now find that inputs are scarce and expensive.

Given the strain of living in strange times, the overarching theme for this year’s Ag Days Agricultural show is farmer health and wellness.

“We’ve had some challenging years with COVID,” said Ag Days co-ordinator Kristen Phillips. “The markets are so crazy right now, the stress level is extremely high and we just want to make sure that everybody is looking out for themselves and their neighbours.”
