More Categories Added To GF2 To Help Farmers Fight Climate Change

Ontario Farmers doing their part to fight climate change can now get some funding to do so.

The provincial and federal government have added four new project categories under the Growing Forward 2 program to help producers shift to a low carbon economy.

Eligible projects will include retrofits to grain dryers to improve heat efficiency , modifications to fertilizer application equipment, and improving lighting systems in agricultural buildings which save on energy.

The province says tackling climate change in this way will help the sustainability of the economy and people's everyday lives.
