This incipient agriculture has been accompanied by dramatic increases in road building and home construction and by the establishment of churches and schools. The principal force behind the acquisition of land has been a desire of families to have homes in rural areas where they can enjoy lifestyles based on traditional Mennonite values. Because most new farmers cannot earn a living in the district from agriculture alone, they must rely on the wood industries to supplement their incomes. Demand is building for the province to open still more land, but disagreements between the government and the Mennonite community about the most appropriate location for developing new farms has put further expansion on hold until the conflict can be resolved. </style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10027396</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Copyright info on website for abstract</style></notes><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">agriculture, history, settlement</style></custom1><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humanities Bibliography</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
