FCC incentivizes sustainability in Canadian dairy sector

Canada’s dairy farmers will be able to move closer toward their net-zero goals, thanks to a collaboration with Farm Credit Canada (FCC), Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC) and Lactanet that incentivizes producers to make their operations more sustainable.

Canadian dairy producers who are FCC customers and meet sustainability requirements can access an incentive payment up to $2,000 through the FCC Sustainability Incentive Program starting this September.

“FCC is pleased to be growing its incentive program into the dairy sector with the support of Dairy Farmers of Canada,” said Justine Hendricks, FCC president and CEO. “It’s through partnerships like this that we are able to support and recognize producers who use beneficial management practices to enhance the sustainability of their operations.”

The collaboration announcement was made at the Dairy Farmers of Canada annual general meeting in Winnipeg.

Historic Tunnel With A Psychedelic Twist

Video: Historic Tunnel With A Psychedelic Twist

Today, we leave Ewetopia Farms behind, and as "The Wandering Shepherds," we explore the Historic Brockville Railway Tunnel—with a psychedelic twist! This isn’t your ordinary walk through history. Stretching under about five city blocks of Brockville’s historic downtown, this tunnel has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind experience with a dazzling psychedelic light and sound show. The mix of history and modern art creates an atmosphere that’s both fascinating and fun. We had heard about this tunnel for years, but nothing prepared us for how incredible it looks in person. Walking through and back again was unforgettable—and apparently, they even run trolley tours through it as well!
