Enns Bros., the John Deere dealership in Neepawa, has stepped up again this year to spearhead the Neepawa Airport Farming project. The Town of Neepawa rents the farmland around the airport to the project, which is jointly administered by the Neepawa Curling Club (Yellowhead Development Society-YDSI) and the Yellowhead Centre (arena and hall). The two facilities invest some cash each year for crop inputs and crop insurance and then share the profits on a 50/50 basis.
