Applications Now Open For 2022 Conservation and GROW Trusts

The Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation has issued a call for proposals from organizations looking for project funding through the Conservation and GROW Trusts. $9 million dollars is available for 2022.

Program manager, Tim Sopuck, explained they've launched a two-stage application process.

"At this point, groups submit a letter of intent...and then all of the letters of intent that are accepted go forward to a full application process, and that begins in October."

Sopuck expects to announce grants to the success organizations in Spring 2022.

Non-profits can apply for up to $600,000 through the Conservation Trust.

GROW Trust applications are only open to Manitoba's 14 watershed districts.

"There's quite a range of activities going on," explained Sopuck. "It's all focused really in the agricultural landscape, and all of it is designed to support activities that work in cooperation with producers so that conservation can be implemented hand-in-hand with agricultural producation rather than one or the other."

Video: Fendt Slicer - Automated adjustment of the conditioner intensity

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
