ADOPT doles out funding for agriculture research
Sixty-three producer-led agriculture research projects in Saskatchewan are receiving funding this year as part of the Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) program.
Funding of more than $600,000 was announced Tuesday for the program by Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart.
The program provides funding to producer groups to evaluate and demonstrate new agriculture practices and technologies at the local level.
The projects this year include cattle breeding, crop-protection products, trials of new crop varieties and seeding techniques.
