Bradford research gets $150,000

The federal and provincial governments are investing $150,00 to instal specialized lighting, climate controls and to upgrade the weather station at the Bradford Research Station.


“This new automated system will help create optimal growing conditions for greenhouse-started crops before they are transplanted to the field at the beginning of the outdoor growing season,” the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs said.


On hand for the announcement were Caroline Mulroney, MPP for York- Simcoe, and Ontario’s Minister for Transportation and for Francophone Affairs, and Helena Jaczek, Member of Parliament for Markham—Stouffville.
