The Canola Council of Canada is boosting incentives for the second year of its Canola 4R Advantage program. There are grants for soil testing, enhanced efficiency fertilizers, preferred application and field zone mapping.
This year, the grants are being increased to $20,000 per farm (up from $6,000 last year), more incentives per farm (four this year versus two last year) and reimbursement for a portion of consulting fees charged by a 4R designated agronomist for a 4R Nutrient Stewardship Plan.
The funds come from the On-Farm Climate Action Fund, which covers up to 85 per cent of eligible costs. (There is a limit of $75,000 per farm.)
