This new funding, along with the January 15 announcement of research investment dollars for the Soybean Cluster, brings more than $14 million to research projects that will greatly benefit grain farmers in Ontario.

As part of its involvement with the Canadian Field Crop Research Alliance (CFCRA), Grain Farmers of Ontario collaborated with organizations across Canada to access federal funding under the Canadian Agriculture Partnership's AgriScience Program. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has committed $9.5 million to this research, with industry contributing an additional $4.9 million. Read more in our press release at gfo.ca.
