Northern Development minister was in Sudbury this week to attend the Northern Ontario Ag Conference
Northern Development Minister Greg Rickford was in Sudbury this week for the Northern Ontario Ag Conference, and he took the opportunity to announce $1.8 million in funding for 10 agri-food projects in the North.
Held Feb. 15-16 at Sudbury’s Holiday Inn, the event drew agricultural specialists from across the North to network, share their research, and learn about the industry’s latest innovations. “Our government is committed to expanding access to fresh, locally produced food, and we are proud to help agri-food businesses become a cornerstone of the Northern Ontario economy,” said Rickford in the release.• $645,400 for Thunder Bay Agricultural Research Association to install tile drainage on 1,168 acres, which will increase arable land and crop yields
• $200,000 for Martin Agri Services to provide leading-edge equipment and field services currently unavailable on Manitoulin Island and improve on-farm production, efficiency and crop yield, while reducing the carbon footprint of the local agriculture sector • $30,130 for Lely Center Temiskaming – a robotic farming equipment retailer – to build their own facility and workshop for parts and repairs
