Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) is working with the Manitoba School Boards Association and other groups, to develop a report for the provincial government on different ways to fund education.

KAP has been asking for a new funding model for years, to correct the inequity of producers being taxed on farmland and buildings, while non-farmers are only taxed on their residences.

"One way of looking at it is taking advantage of maybe having this opportunity to talk about it before it becomes a full on review or task force or something like that," said KAP President Dan Mazier.

Mazier noted that the PC Party made an election promise to look at how education is funded.

KAP says a new funding model is especially critical now that the value of farmland is skyrocketing and school taxes are going up accordingly.
