April Harvest…
A number of farmers in the area who were unable
to get last year’s crop off the field before winter hit were
back at it recently. The warm Spring temperatures of
mid-April allowed farmers to get their combines back
out to get harvest 2018 completed. Throughout the area,
a number of combines could be seen in action, some-
what of an unusual sight for this time of year. While some
are still working on last year’s harvest, other farmers are
busy with spring field work in preparation for the 2019
crop.
Public Hearing…
Last Tuesday evening, two local residents attended
the Town’s 20 minute Public Hearing regarding the 2019
Financial Plan. Robert Marks asked a series of questions
for clarification purposes while Elvin Birch shared his
concerns about the proposed new arena project. Town
Council is expected to pass the budget at their regular
meeting later this month.
Look familiar?
You may have noticed a movie trailer with some
familiar scenes being aired lately. A Dog’s Journey, the
follow-up to the 2017 film, A Dog’s Purpose, is set to
hit theatres on May 17th. As with the first movie, some
scenes in the sequel, such as the Michigan farm scenes,
were shot locally at the Swift farm northeast of Bethany
last August. The Universal Pictures film once again stars
Dennis Quad as Ethan and of course, Bailey the dog! Be
sure to catch this heart-warming family film.
Poll power…
A recent poll has shown that support for Prime Min-
ister Justin Trudeau and his Liberals has dwindled to 27
percent. However, this online poll only represents the
views of 1,522 respondents. I never put much credit in
polls and surveys that have a response rate of less than
half of the eligible respondents as they do not give a clear,
truthful view of actual opinions. A poor response rate
only shows the opinions of a small number of people.

Unwelcome But Understandable News
By DARRYL HOLYK
D isheartening news about the closure of another
community newspaper came this week when,
after 17 years of publication, Brandon’s Westman Jour-
nal, ceased operations this past Monday. The Journal
cited business decline and digital advertising through
non-local sources such as Facebook and Google as a
large part of the difficult decision to close the news-
paper. The demise of The Westman Journal comes just
two years after Manitoba lost The Grandview Expo-
nent, a small community newspaper which had pro-
vided its community with local news happenings for
117 years.
Declining business as a result of online posting,
shopping, etc. is certainly something many locally
owned businesses, including newspapers, can relate
to throughout the world.
Here at The Minnedosa Tribune we have certainly
seen a decrease in advertising revenue over the past
few years as a direct result of non-local online media
sources such as facebook, etc. Many of our local busi-
nesses and community groups who had previously
reached its audience through the local newspaper
are now advertising their deals and upcoming events
on facebook – whether it is their own facebook page
or one of the numerous community-based facebook
pages or groups. While these posts are reaching a
great number of people at no or little cost, there are
still many people who are not online or on facebook
who are never seeing these online advertisements and
missing out as a result. That is just one of many rea-
sons why a local community newspaper is important
and still has great value – we do still have an audience
who rely on us to find out about local happenings.
I have been told time and time again how great
facbeook is and that I should use it more for my busi-
ness. I have posted numerous breaking news items
on our Minnedosa Tribune facebook page over the
past few years as a way to get needed information
out to people quickly, before our weekly paper edi-
tion comes out on Friday. In no time, those posts are
viewed, shared, liked and commented on. I recall one
post that had thousands of likes and shares which re-
sulted in someone commenting to me, “See how great
that facebook post was for The Tribune? You need to
do more on facebook.” I agreed that the post did reach
thousands of people, which was great, but then in-
formed this individual that while that post was viewed
and shared by many, it did not bring in one single cent

for The Tribune and that I still had many business ex-
penses to pay. So just how does posting to facebook
help me pay my business bills? I still have not been
able to unearth that secret!
While a number of small community newspapers
are currently publishing eight or 12 page papers, due
to decreases in their advertising revenue, The Tribune
has, so far, been able to maintain a paper no less than
16 pages. Certainly, there have been a few weeks,
when the small amount of paid advertising we had
only warranted a 12 page paper but for the time being,
we strive to remain at no less than 16 pages. I dread
the day that I will be forced to downsize The Tribune to
a 12 or eight page newspaper and pray that day never
comes. A previous Tribune Publisher told me that any-
thing less than 16 pages wasn’t a newspaper, it was a
newsletter, and I agree with that statement. With the
continued support of our loyal advertisers, hopefully
we can remain a 16 page or larger newspaper! We are
proud to be recognizing our Top 25 business advertis-
ers through our Local Matters campaign each week as
they are a huge part of the reason The Minnedosa Tri-
bune continues to publish weekly into its 136th year!
Please return the favour by supporting the businesses
you see advertising in The Tribune so that they can re-
main in operation here in our community!
For any business, newspaper or other, a loss in
revenue has numerous negative impacts. Not only
does it mean that business has less money to pay its
constantly-rising bills, it also means there is less mon-
ey to donate back to various groups, projects and at-
tractions who come to them asking for donations and
sponsorships. Sometimes, a loss in revenue can also
result in a business being forced to increase its prices
or lay-off staff in order to try and survive just a little
bit longer. When a local business looses revenue, the
entire community suffers in some way.
It is sad to see any business close and this week’s
closure of The Westman Journal is definitely sad for
many, including our community newspaper industry.
From looking at some of the smaller weekly newspa-
pers we receive from around the province each week, I
will not be surprised to see a few more close in the not-
to-distant future. Fortunately, for the time being, The
Minnedosa Tribune is not yet in jeopardy of closing its
doors. What the future years hold for this majestic old
newspaper, I cannot predict, but certainly hope the
oldest business in Minnedosa, oldest weekly newspa-
per in Manitoba and Western Canada will be around
for many more years to come!

T he roots of Morris In-

dustries can be traced
back to 1929 when Mr.
George Morris started the
Morris Rod-Weeder Com-
pany. George had opened
his first business called
“Morris Garage” in Ban-
gor, SK five years previ-
ous, in 1924. In 1949 the
Morris company relocated
to Yorkton, SK and in the
1960’s and 70’s, experi-
enced enormous growth.
The company expanded
its manufacturing capa-
bilities by opening plants
in Minnedosa MB, Minot,
ND and Ortonville, MN.
The plant currently
known as the Minnedosa
Morris Industries, dates
back to 1960 when the fac-
tory was built and began
operations as Agristeel
Fabricators. For a short

Rod Weeder. Forty years
and a few building expan-
sions later, the Minnedosa
Morris plant continues to
operate with a regular staff
of approximately 70 em-
ployees.
Morris specializes in
creating air drills, air carts,
tillage, seedbed prepara-
tion and bale carrier prod-
ucts. The Minnedosa plant
is primarily responsible for
the manufacturing of nine

well respected in the in-

Next Emergency Alert Test Scheduled For May 8th

SUBMITTED to an LTE network during television and Telecom- vice compatibility on your er related disasters such Anyone interested in more
the alert, cell tower cover- munications Commission wireless service provider’s as flooding and tornados information about these

O n Wednesday, May
8th at 1:55 p.m., the
Manitoba Emergency
Measures Organization
(EMO) will be sending out
an emergency alert test
message across Manitoba
using the Alert Ready Sys-
tem.
The emergency alert
test message will be dis-
tributed on TV, radio and
wireless devices. However,
not all Manitobans will
receive the test alert on
their wireless device. This
may occur for a variety of
reasons including device
compatibility, connection
age and device software
and settings.
Testing of all compo-
nents of the Alert Ready
system is an important
and necessary part of any
public alerting system. It
provides an opportunity to
validate and improve the
performance and reliabil-
ity of the system to ensure
it operates as it is intended
on TV, radio and wireless
in the event of a life-threat-
ening situation. You do not
have the option to opt-out
of this essential life-saving
service.
The Canadian Radio-
requires that 100% of new
devices sold in Canada
must be compatible to re-
ceive emergency alerts.
As more devices are pur-
chased, more Canadians
will be able to receive the
alerts on their wireless de-
vices.
As this emergency
alert test message will take
place during the work day,
Manitoba EMO asks that
you ensure your staff are
made aware and may re-
ceive the test message on
their wireless device. Man-
itoba EMO also encour-
ages you to check your de-
website and ensure your
device has the latest soft-
ware update installed.
The local Emergency
Plan team is a valuable
group of dedicated vol-
unteers who are ready to
jump into action in the
event of a major emer-
gency. The community’s
Emergency Plan is regu-
larly updated and includes

tion in the event of a ma-

Manitoba Farmland Values Increased in 2018
SUBMITTED
A verage farmland value
in Canada continued
its steady climb in 2018,
driven by fewer, but more
strategic investments by
producers.
“With the steady rise
in farmland values, pro-
ducers are making more
strategic investments,”
according to J.P. Gervais,
chief agricultural econo-
mist for Farm Credit Can-
ada (FCC). “Whether it
means paying a higher
price for land that has po-
tential to be more produc-
tive or buying in blocks to
improve the efficiency of
their operations, produc-
ers are sharpening their
pencils with an eye on vari-
able commodity prices.”
  The average value of
Canadian farmland in-
creased 6.6 per cent in
2018, following gains of 8.4
per cent in 2017 and 7.9
per cent in 2016, according

  In Manitoba, average
farmland values increased
by 3.7 per cent in 2018,
following gains of five per
cent in 2017 and 8.1 per
cent in 2016.
  In all provinces, except
for Nova Scotia and New-
foundland and Labrador,
average farmland values
increased. Quebec experi-
enced the highest average
increase at 8.3 per cent,
followed by Saskatchewan
and Alberta, both at 7.4 per
cent, and British Columbia
at 6.7 per cent. The rest of
the provinces were below
the national average with
Prince Edward Island’s av-
erage increase at 4.2 per
cent, Manitoba at 3.7 per
cent, Ontario at 3.6 per
cent and New Brunswick
at 1.8 per cent.
  Nova Scotia recorded
a decrease of 4.9 per cent
in average farmland val-
ues, while Newfoundland
and Labrador did not have
enough publicly reported
Friday, May 3, 2019
transactions to fully assess
farmland values.
  Although average
farmland values have in-
creased every year since
1993, recent increases are
less pronounced than the
2011-2015 period that re-
corded significant average
farmland value increases
in many different regions.
  Gervais said fewer
land transactions in 2018
is consistent with a tight
supply of land available for
sale and a softening in de-
mand, which is a reflection
of farm income levelling
off, variable commodity
prices and rising borrow-
ing costs.
  Farm operators need
to exercise caution, es-
pecially in regions where
the growth rate of farm-
land values significantly
exceeded that of farm in-
come in recent years. At
the same time, there is still
a strong business case for
buying more land, but not
without carefully weighing
