Three packers get subsidies


 

Golden Valley Farms Ltd. of Atwood is getting $150,000, Domingos Meat Packers of Arthur $96,000 and Atwood Heritage Processing Ltd. $150,000 from a federal-provincial agriculture departments program.


The subsidies are part of a Meat Processors Capacity Improvement Initiative announced earlier this month.


Matthew Rae, member of the Ontario legislature for Perth-Wellington, recently drew attention to the local beneficiaries.


I find it hard to believe that the owners of Golden Valley Farms Ltd. need corporate welfare.
