Ontario Bean Growers is donating $600,000 and an anonymous donor $1.4 million in weed research at the Ridgetown College campus of the University of Guelph.
The money will fund a research chair and fills a gap when Dr. Peter Sikkema is due to retire this year.
It will also support the Huron Research Station for the next 10 years,” the Ontario Bean Growers said in a news release.
