The Canola Council of Canada has launched a new program, called the Canola 4R Advantage, that will offer up to $12,000 per farm for implementing 4R stewardship practices.
The funding (from Ottawa’s On-Farm Climate Action Fund) will reimburse growers for up to 85 per cent of their costs in four areas: soil testing, enhanced efficiency fertilizers, preferred application and field zone mapping.
Growers will need a 4R Nutrient Stewardship plan certified by a crop adviser or professional agrologist with a 4R designation from Fertilizer Canada, the council said.
