Province and federal government support crop research projects with $9.8 million in funding
The province announced it is partnering with the federal government to give a $9.8 million boost for crop research in 2021.
The funding will benefit 39 projects, through Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF).
The federal government is investing 60 per cent for its share and the Government of Saskatchewan 40 per cent, under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership.
Shawn Gibson, executive director of the Agriculture Research branch in the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, told battlefordsNOW the advancements from this research will ultimately return back to producers and the Saskatchewan economy.
