    Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences The University of Manitoba Progress Review January – December 2004 dean’s message It is with great pleasure that I present to you the 51st Annual Progress Review of the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences at the University of Manitoba. In the following pages, you will learn about the many academic, research and outreach activities undertaken by the Faculty in 2004. Much of what is reported here was initiated under the guidance of Harold Bjarnason, who completed his term as Dean of the Faculty in July 2004. During his time in the Faculty, he had great vision and started the ball rolling on many of the projects in which we are cur- rently engaged. My goal is to build on his accomplishments and the Faculty’s many strengths. We can do this by focusing on multi-disci- plinary research themes, continuing to provide a high quality learning environment and supporting our staff in their valuable outreach and service activities. We are very excited about the Faculty’s changing physical landscape. The Richardson Centre for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals is Mission Statement quickly taking shape on the Fort Garry campus. We, along with the Faculties of Human Ecology, Pharmacy and Medicine look forward to To provide leadership in the opening of this innovative research centre in Smartpark at the education and research by end of 2005.

    CANADA-MANITOBA Soil Survey Soils of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland Report D76 Government Gouvernement Government Gouvernement of Canada du Canada of Manitoba du Manitoba SOILS REPORT NO. D76 . 1991 SOILS OF THE RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF RHINELAND by Glenn Podolsky CANADA-MANITOBA SOIL SURVEY AGRICULTURE CANADA MANITOBA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF MANITOBA PREFACE This interim report and map of the detailed field and laboratory study of the soils of the Rural Municipality of Rhineland is one in a new series of such soil survey reports covering special interest areas in southern Manitoba. These reports reflect the growing concern by various government agencies that support the Canada-Manitoba Soil Survey, that a knowledge of the development and distribution of the soils of Manitoba is the key to understanding their properties, behaviour and response to management. This concern requires that soils be described both in terms of their basic properties and the nature of the environmental setting in which they are found. Thus, when an area such as that in the R.M. of Rhineland study requires delineation of land of high or low value for crop production or for other uses, the basic reference document is an accurate and reliable soil map. The land resource information included in this resurvey covers approximately 93 241 ha of land. It includes only a portion ofthe area covered in the reconnaissance survey of the Morris Map Sheet Area (Report No. 5, 1953). However, the projected more intensive use of the soils for agriculture and the growing competition for other uses of land in the area has created a need for more up-to-date, more accurate and more detailed soil information.

This year 63 beekeepers responded, repre- senting just over 50 per cent of the province’s colonies.
