Governments of Canada and Manitoba Invest Over $600,000 to Establish Project ASPIRE Hub

Dec 16, 2022

As part of its ongoing work to position Manitoba as a global leader in sustainable protein, the governments of Canada and Manitoba are investing more than $600,000 through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) to establish a hub that supports the implementation of Project ASPIRE (Accelerating Sustainable Protein Impact and Results), Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson announced today at the Manitoba Protein Summit.

The Project ASPIRE hub will provide stakeholders the opportunity to work collaboratively at industry-led roundtables — one for each of the strategy’s 10 pillars — to identify priority actions and co-ordinate strategic activities to advance sustainable protein production and processing in the province.

The hub will be hosted by the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, thanks to the industry association being well-equipped to co-ordinate, catalyze and facilitate the implementation of Project ASPIRE. Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters will be recruiting expertise in the near future to facilitate industry, academia and government actions to implement ASPIRE’s objectives.

Video: What is Anhydrous Ammonia and Why Do We Use It?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. Our part-time employee, Brock, also helps with the filming. 1980 was our first year in Waldron where our main farm is now. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
