Canadian Government Invests $94, 000 into Nova Scotia Dairy Farm

Government Grant Assists Organic Dairy Farm to Modernize Equipment

By , Farms.com

The Canadian Government is investing $94,000, in the form of a repayable loan to Cook`s Dairy Farm based in Yarmouth Nova Scotia. Cook`s Dairy is one of the leading dairy farms in Nova Scotia, producing three million liters of milk per year. The repayable contribution is made possible through the Agriculture Flexibility Fund`s AgriProcessing Initiative that seeks to support agriculture businesses and assist them in becoming more competitive.

With the support of the federal government, Cook`s Dairy Farm will be able to meet the new food safety regulatory requirements to operate an organic dairy. The funds will go towards purchasing wastewater treatment equipment that will boost the Cook`s dairy business to become more efficient by utilizing environmentally friendly technology.

Member of Parliament Greg Kerr made the announcement on behalf of Agriculture Minister Ritz.  "The Harper Government's top priority remains the economy, and dairy producers play a crucial role in keeping our economy strong," MP Kerr said in a statement. "This investment will help Cook's Dairy Farm increase  production, capacity and sales to be better equipped to meet growing market demands."
