Livestock predation is a constant issue faced by producers, and the Manitoba government is making funding available to help combat this issue.
The funding is available through their Predator Resistant Fence Construction Program.
Eligible applicants can be reimbursed for up to 75 per cent of approved project costs, up to a maximum of $10,000, with eligibility amounts varying due to size, type of fence, and purpose for the fence.
Among the groups eligible to apply for this funding are agricultural crown land forage leaseholders, Association of Manitoba Community Pastures, primary producers, and Indigenous primary producers and communities, including Metis and First Nations producers.
Approved projects can start as of April 1st but must be completed by October 31st, and must be inspected by November 28th.
The application deadline is February 27th, with more information available online at Manitoba.ca.
