Following a year of drought-like conditions in 2024, farmers in the RM of Dauphin saw much more favourable growing conditions this past year.
Reeve Ernie Sirski says even with crop prices being significantly lower this year, it was a huge positive that all farmers in the RM at least had something to sell this year.
"In 2025, we managed to get the entire crop seeded. I think almost every farmer in the RM was able to do that. In 2024, we had 15 percent of the acreage in the RM go unseeded, which was a huge financial impact on our farmers."
Among the other highlights for 2025 were the long-awaited reaching of a new Recreation funding agreement with the City of Dauphin, as well as the introduction of Grady Stephenson as the new CAO for the RM, replacing Nicole Chychota.
