Snowmobilers Reminded To Stay Off Fields

Snowmobilers of Manitoba (Snoman) will be distributing and putting up about 560 'No Trespassing' signs this winter, reminding snowmobilers to stay off farmers' fields.
 
"This winter because of the storm October 11th, really devastating for a lot of farmers and they weren't able to get their crop off the field," said Snoman Executive Director Yvonne Rideout. "We do carry signs 'Stay On Trail', but this year we wanted to have something more than that. So the signs that we have basically say 'No Trespassing Please - Crop On The Field'."
 
Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC) says there's at least 400,000 acres fields with unharvested crops.
 
The signs, which were provided by Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and MASC, will be put up once the groomers hit the trails.
