Feds Provide $14 Million for Canadian Beef Research

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

The federal government announced that it will provide $14 million to benefit Canadian beef cattle producers over the next five years. Federal agriculture minister Gerry Ritz made the announcement at Soderglen Ranches near Airdrie, AB Aug. 20.

"Working with industry and academia our Government is making strategic investments to help the sector meet the growing global demand for high quality, safe beef and to ensure the Canadian cattle industry remains competitive and sustainable for the future,” touted Ritz.

The Beef Cattle Industry Science Cluster will manage the funds to improve areas such as beef quality, feed utilization and enhancing food safety. The Canadian beef industry is the second largest source of farm cash receipts in agriculture, generating over $6.5 billion to the farm gate.
