Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - Today, Member of Parliament for Winnipeg South Terry Duguid, on behalf of Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced a federal investment of up to $5.1 million for Buffalo Creek Mills to purchase and install first-in-Canada technology as part of its plant expansion in Altona, Manitoba.
Innovation and technology are essential to ensuring Canadian farmers remain competitive and well-positioned for future growth. Investments to support the development and installation of modern equipment are helping to enhance efficiency and boost productivity for farmers across Canada.
A customized continuous oat kiln with first-in-Canada functionality and associated processing and packaging equipment will allow Buffalo Creek Mills to further process oats for use as conventional food ingredients and for the creation of emerging oat products. Byproducts are repurposed for use in animal feed and biofuels as part of an initiative to participate in a zero waste circular economy.
