Nearly $10 million allocated to crop research

Crop research is receiving a total of $9.7 million in funding from the federal and provincial governments. Of the $9.7 million, $7.2 million is through the Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) to support 39 research projects and $2.5 million through the Strategic Research Initiative (SRI) to study the long-term management of herbicide resistant kochia and wild oats.
