Farm fields to become labs

The federal government is putting up $9.2 million for an Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association initiative that makes farm fields “living labs”.

The project will measure the benefits of adopting best management practices, such as adequate manure storage, nitrogen and measures that reduce carbon emissions.


Some of the money will be spent to involve local producer, farm organizations, federal and provincial researchers and indigenous groups in knowledge transfer.
