Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan further support research demonstration projects

Regina, Saskatchewan – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - Today the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced more than $885,000 for 43 projects through the Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) program.

The ADOPT Program provides funding to assist producer groups to evaluate and demonstrate new agricultural practices and technologies at the local level. The results of successful trials can then be adopted by agricultural operations in the region.

A total of $26,625 in support of five of these projects was contributed by two industry co-funders, the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association and Fertilizer Canada.
