Manitoba producers affected by extended periods of excess moisture this spring can now apply for the 2010 Canada-Manitoba Excess Moisture Assistance program being offered by the governments of Canada and Manitoba, Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives (MAFRI) Minister Stan Struthers announced today.

Agriculture Ministers met to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the agriculture sector and the road ahead to a better bottom line for Canadian farmers.

Help is on the way for prairie farmers dealing with excess moisture and flooding through the largest and fastest AgriRecovery relief package to date.

The Governments of Canada and Manitoba have partnered to assist producers in the northern Interlake region that were adversely affected by excess moisture conditions in 2008 and 2009.
