Online EFP platform launched

Manitoba producers can ditch the paper when it comes to completing their environmental farm plan (EFP).

The online platform, which will exchange the old EFP workbooks for an online process, is now live, according to the Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP).

The hope was and is to streamline the system, as well as adding features that tailor the process to different farms and production systems rather than the one-size-fits-all approach of the old paper process. Completed applications then go through a third-party review, with reviewers sourced by KAP.

“KAP is pleased to have worked with government to deliver a tool that producers can confidently and easily use as they work to employ sustainable farming practices more easily in their operations,” KAP president Bill Campbell said.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
