Lights out after day of seeding — A farmer moving his implements from one field to another pulls down hydro lines just north of Mitchell last Thursday, causing homes in the area to lose power for nearly two hours. Emergency personnel and hydro workers responded quickly to the call, which came in around 6 p.m. No one was injured but two poles were downed in the mishap. Hydro employees had the area cleaned up by sunset.

The Carillon - Steinbach Manitoba Canada

Spring seeding started despite the wintry weather
The fields around the Southeast are filled with farmers seeding this year�s cereal, corn and canola crops. John McGregor, Manitoba Agriculture advisor in Steinbach, says despite the chilly weather and even the recent snow, seeding is already 10 to 15 percent completed. He expects these fields will likely all be down within a week, if the weather cooperates. The worry with putting canola in has been the weather-if frost hits the plant after it emerges it could wipe out the entire crop.

Goertzen pushes health minister for more doctors
