Regina, Saskatchewan – Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada - The Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan have announced more than $484,000 for six projects through the Strategic Field Program (SFP) which offers funding for field level demonstrations and evaluation of targeted agriculture practices and technologies.
The SFP funding supports field-level demonstrations and research that are relevant to agriculture producers, such as studying the effect of dugout aeration on greenhouse gas emissions and the use of virtual fencing on forested pasture.
The development of project proposals and applications for the SFP is led by Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture specialists. Funding is awarded on an annual basis. Successful projects in 2022 will be conducted by University of Regina, University of Saskatchewan, South East Research Farm, Judd Street Associates-Crops Consulting Services, Spencer Horticultural Solutions and the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association.
