Weyburn

 Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn says Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation will provide support measures through its AgriInsurance program, improving cash flow for livestock producers needing to secure additional feed.

MASC will be applying a quality adjustment factor to reduce yield appraisals by 40 per cent for drought-stricken cereal crops that are converted to livestock feed. 

A new agreement will open up more opportunities for moving products from Manitoba and Saskatchewan to the world.

This week, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew and the Arctic Gateway Group (AGG) signed a Memorandum of Understanding that will create a northern trade corridor through the Port of Churchill.

Moe says Saskatchewan remains committed to strengthening trade across Canada by supporting and developing new transportation corridors

Members of the Weyburn Police Service last week charged four people for breaching their release conditions in separate incidents.

Deputy Chief Shane St. John explained it's one of the jobs of police officers to watch community members who are on conditions.

"Sometimes they're caught out past a curfew or caught with someone maybe they shouldn't be with, and no other criminal activity had occurred," he noted. "Or it's they're with the co-accused, people they were in trouble with. [They] can't be in a place you can buy alcohol or drugs, like a weed shop or the bar."

The City of Weyburn's Fire Pit Bylaw requires anyone using a fire pit in their yard to have a permit from City Hall. However, there are also a few safety rules to keep in mind to ensure only happy memories are made during fire pit season.

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Wolk said the fire pit should be placed far enough away from anything combustible in your yard, such as your trees, your fence, or your house. 

A lawyer for one of two leaders of the Freedom Convoy facing sentencing told an Ottawa court Wednesday her client should not be left with a criminal record.

Crown prosecutor Siobhain Wetscher said Wednesday she is seeking stiff sentences for convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber because of the broad community harm caused by the three-week 2022 protest in Ottawa's downtown core.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe wrapped three days of meetings with his fellow premiers and Prime Minister Mark Carney Wednesday with a message he admitted he wouldn't have sent over the past decade.

"We can be proud of the work our federal government is doing, in fairness," Moe said.

Moe has been one of the federal Liberal government's most vocal critics in recent years — and criticism of Ottawa is usually guaranteed when provincial leaders gather.

Manitoba is continuing to work on growing the agri-food sector. 

Agriculture Minister Ron Kostyshyn announced over $6 million in funding from the province and the federal government to increase food processing opportunities.

The announcement was made at Maple Leaf Foods in Brandon, one of the recipients of the funding. 

Maple Leaf's President of Pork Operations Dennis Organ says the investment will help modernize the Brandon pork facility with state-of-the-art equipment, improving reliability, efficiency and production quality.
