Material type:
TextPublication details: MB : 1978Online resources: Abstract: One hundred and forty-seven farmers in 20 rural municipalities in south-western Manitoba were interviewed to test their attitudes toward adopting new methods, altering or modifying farming practices without negative economic or operational effects to provide environmental and wildlife benefits. There was a strong tendency shown toward continuous cropping, with a moderate move toward the zero-tillage method.Improvements in management of burning and draining were indicated but problems with definitions made for inconclusive results. The attitude toward taking time during, or making alterations in, field operations to save nests in crops was strongly positive.
