 Two brothers embroiled in an eight-year-long bitter legal battle over control of a generic crop input business have “buried the hatchet.”

Jim and Jason Mann have agreed to end litigation against one another and the businesses they run, which are Farmers of North America (FNA) and AgraCity Crop & Nutrition Ltd.

“The news of the day is the Mann vs. Mann is ending and Jim and I are burying the hatchet,” said Jason.

At the end of last fiscal year, the provincial government finished up with a deficit several million dollars smaller than originally forecast.

The budgeted deficit at the start of the year was $273 million, but announced Monday, the operating deficit at the end of 2024-25 is $249 million.

The smaller deficit is attributed to increased revenue, mainly from the $700 million resolution of Canada’s Historic Tobacco Settlement.

The historic Water Tower opens for the season today, July 2. The restored tower is an engineering marvel in its own right. Since it’s repurposing, it’s become a major tourist attraction, the only one in the province restored to this extent. 

Rainfall was welcomed by local producers at the end of June as highlighted by the Crop Report from the Ministry of Agriculture.  

The rainfall along with cooler temperatures aided the crops which experienced an abnormal dry spring.  

Crops remained patchy and uneven leading to varied crop stages due to the poor spring moisture conditions.  

A group of protesters walking on Highway 2 north of Prince Albert on Canada Day prompted six separate 911 calls when they blocked a bridge to traffic flow. 

After receiving the calls shortly after 3 pm on July 1, Prince Albert RCMP responded to the site approximately 20 kilometres north of the city. Reports from the public indicated that the protesters were striking the police vehicles as they moved through the protesters.
