Pedersen Monitoring Flooding In Southeast Manitoba

Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development Minister Blaine Pedersen is conversing with his colleagues in the southeast about the flooding situation.
 
"Crops have been flooded out and pasture land and the roads are a concern in order to get feed into livestock barns and to check on livestock," he said. "For personal security too, when roads get washed out it can cause some real angst for families."
 
Pedersen says it's still too early to say if financial assistance will be made available.
 
He's considering a trip to the area to assess the situation.

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

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.
