CFA President Keith Currie was pleased with the result.

"We obtained just over 40 meetings with elected Senate office staff, ministerial staff. It was, we felt, a very successful lobby day and then we copped it off at the end of the day with a reception. We had nearly 250 people attending, elected, and people from the Senate and industry stakeholders. All in all a very good day."

Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay also provided remarks.

Environment Canada's Senior Climatologist says southern Manitoba has now gone 15 consecutive months where the average temperature was warmer than normal.

David Phillips says the streak continued in October, noting it was not even close.

According to Phillips, the average afternoon temperature in last month was 14.6 degrees Celsius, while the normal is 10.5 degrees. Phillips says when you consider that daylight hours are less in October and the sun is lower in the sky, it is alarming to see such high average temperatures in October.
