On Saturday, Neepawa-Gladstone Co-op announced the purchase of Eagle Agro Service’s retail business. The deal will see the Co-op take over all of Eagle Agro’s services, except for aerial application, which will still be provided by Eagle Agro’s owners, Nelson and Arlene Almey. The purchase will help Co-op expand its current custom application and crop input business.

Here, you can find the full responses from the Dauphin candidate who sent in a response. PC candidate Brad Michaelski and NDP candidate Darcy Scheller did not submit their responses before the Banner & Press's print deadline. If they do send in responses before the election, they will be published here.

The Neepawa Banner & Press has asked the area’s candidates their thoughts on several significant topics impacting their constituency. In the Aug. 30 edition of the paper, we featured Agassiz and Riding Mountain constituencies. Due to space constraints in the hard copy paper, some of the candidates' responses had to be condensed. Here, you can find the full responses from each Agassiz candidate.
What we asked the candidates:
1. What was the specific issue that inspired you to put your name on the ballot?
2. Why do you want to represent this constituency? And why do you want to represent your party?
3. What do you think is the biggest issue facing your constituency?
4. We’re teaching kids, are we teaching them what they need to know to be functioning members of society?
5. Manitoba is a diverse population, yet some groups (LGBTQ+, First Nations, immigrants, etc.) aren’t discussed. Do you think more focus needs to be put on education that is more inclusive of our province’s citizens?
6. How do you see rural health services changing over the next decade?
7. The perception in many rural communities is that they are left out when it comes to development. How do you define rural development and how would you support it?
8. What role can the province play in helping to address the rising cost of living facing those from the middle class down?
