Province sells farm to Outdoor Farm Show


The province is selling a farm near Burford to Glacier Media for its Outdoor Farm Show.


The show has been renting the site from the province.


The farm was used for research by Shur Gain feed company and when it was purchased by a Dutch-based company, the farm was taken over by the province.


Glacier Media plans to invest in more facilities for the show and to continue research on soil health. 


Bob Willcox, president of Glacier FarmMedia said “strategic industry and research partnerships on a range of projects will allow us to share knowledge about, and real-world solutions for, the most pressing challenges facing Ontario farmers today. “Together we are enhancing the province's agriculture sector.”
