A new Manitoba pea processing plant has been announced for construction near Portage la Prairie.
That story broke, just days after news of Westman Opportunities Leadership Group and the study regarding a potential soy bean crushing plant for Westman.
Meanwhile the soy processing story steams ahead, gathering support through the rural development studies at Brandon University.
With Federated Co-Operative announcing a couple of new fertilizer plants as well, agriculture is looking up.
Pulse crops appear to be leading the way into value added opportunities for Manitoba and possibly western Saskatchewan.
