CALGARY, AB: The Wheat Growers congratulate the newly sworn in Manitoba Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Ron Kostyshyn. A return to the office that he has previously held will ensure a speedy transition into this role.
“The Wheat Growers look forward to working with Minister Kostyshyn as we continue to grow the agriculture industry and ensure stability to the food supply chain,” stated Gunter Jochum, President.
Agriculture is a significant contributor to the Manitoba GDP and has potential for expansion. Ensuring continued growth will take planning and cooperation between farmers, industry, and government.
“Meeting the challenges of modern agriculture is a challenge for all of us, but the results are a worthwhile goal,” closed Jochum.
