Canada’s Ministry of Agriculture and Agri-Food is funding 45 projects that will allow grain farmers to adopt more efficient drying technology, such as biomass boilers.
More than $22.2 million is being provided for the equipment upgrades and fuel switching initiatives through the Agricultural Clean Technology Program – Adoption Stream. To date the program has supported 99 dryer projects across the country.
Geerts Farms Ltd., in Kamsack, Sask., is among the program recipients. The 26,000-acre family-operated producer of canola, wheat and oats is receiving up to $2 million to purchase and install a new grain dryer and biomass boiler. The boiler is powered by locally sourced wood waste and will eliminate the farm’s current use of propane.
