Agriculture
Agriculture and
its related businesses continue to be the major economic force in the
Northwestern Interlake.The relatively low land prices, the ability of
this land to produce high quality forage crops, the abundance of clean
water and stable cattle prices have combined to make this area one of
the best beef producing areas in the country.
The major products
produced in this region are agricultural products, specifically grain,
hay, forage seed and livestock.
The majority of
cattle produced locally are feeder cattle and are purchased by feedlots
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario and the United States.
