The Grain Farmers of Ontario has opened its annual Call for Research Letters of Intent (LOI).
Representing 28,000 barley, corn, oat, soybean, and wheat farmers in Ontario, the province’s largest commodity organization’s investment in research is a long-term strategic initiative targeting opportunities to enhance farmer-member profitability and sector competitiveness.
“Investment in research is critical to ensuring an environmentally sustainable and economically viable grain and oilseed sector,” stated Paul Hoekstra, the Vice President of Strategic Development at Grain Farmers of Ontario. “Through a consultative process with farmer-members, academia, and industry, we’ve identified priority research areas that, when leveraged with private sector research funding, can help address the biggest challenges facing the agriculture industry.”
Researchers may review the Grain Farmers of Ontario’s updated 2023 Research Priorities and submit an LOI addressing those priorities by Wednesday, July 12, 2023, by 4:30 PM.
Complete details regarding updated research priorities, the Call for the LOI process, and the 2023 template for submissions are at www.gfo.ca/research.
