Farm efficiency subsidy extended


 

The federal and provincial governments are offering $12 million in a program aimed at helping farmers improve energy efficiency and soil health.


The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership is offering between $6,000 and $90,000 for projects that support soil health, water quality and energy efficiency improvements, including replacing inefficient on-farm technologies, installing geothermal heating and adopting high-efficiency motor, ventilation, heating, cooling, refrigeration, grain drying and lighting systems. 


This is the fourth intake of the program and builds on the $15.5 million already invested to support approximately 1,000 projects since 2023.
