Railways, highways, drainage, and flood infrastructure represent key components that contribute to the success of Manitoba agriculture. All these infrastructure components must be adequately maintained and periodically upgraded to meet farmers’ needs.

Farmers have seen the impact that natural disasters, labour strikes, overseas conflicts, and a global pandemic have had on commodity movements into regional and global markets. All levels of government must implement policies that enhance competitiveness, create efficiencies, and foster increased capacity within the supply chain and infrastructure network.

2026 update:
Recently, KAP surveyed farms from 80 to 9,000 acres and found broad agreement across Manitoba: the province’s drainage system is not keeping up with today’s water challenges.
