Here is an opportunity to improve your productivity on your dairy farm. The program is offered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Please visit their website and following links for further details. The Dairy Farm Investment Program is designed to support the productivity and the competitiveness of dairy farmers, and help the sector adapt to the anticipated impacts from the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. The program helps Canadian cow’s milk producers improve productivity through upgrades to their equipment. The maximum funding amount per licensed dairy farm, for the five-year duration of the program, is $250,000. Applicants may apply more than once, and for more than one project; however, the total reimbursements for all approved projects will not exceed $250,000.
