Help for maple syrup producers


The federal and provincial governments are offering up to $1 million spread over two years in a program called the Maple Production Improvement Initiative.


It is only open to producers with more than 1,000 taps and is a 50-50 cost-sharing program aimed at improving operations and is capped at $20,000 per producer. It’s available retroactive to April 1.


Applications open Nov. 9.


Examples of projects that qualify as improving productivity, efficiency and growth are reverse osmosis and remote monitoring systems.
