Liberals Commit to Clean Technology and Climate Funding

Sep 17, 2021

The Liberal party has released its agriculture platform ahead of the September 20th federal election.

Jim Carr is the candidate for Winnipeg South Centre.

"Maybe the most important feature is that we're tripling the Clean Technology funding, and that means it will total five hundred million dollars. A significant investment in clean-tech ag, it can be used for a variety of purposes including precision agriculture, grain drying. That's not including two hundred million dollars we're adding the Climate Solutions Fund. So, that's seven hundred million new dollars in agriculture," said Carr.

Carr added, the Liberals also plan to change temporary foreign worker regulations, offering them a path to stay in Canada.

"The Agri-Stability program is very important," noted Carr. "We're disappointed that the three Prairie provinces haven't agreed to participate in that program...the offer is still on the table and so, we're hopeful that story will have a happy ending."

The FarmCast, host Troy Randall speaks with Doug Luedke, Vice President of Service, and Davin Peterson, Executive Vice President of Aftermarket at 21st Century Equipment, to discuss the importance of proactive service and how it helps farmers reduce downtime during their busiest seasons. The conversation focuses on the Winter Service Inspection Program, a comprehensive approach designed to keep equipment running at peak performance and limit costly in-season breakdowns through preventative maintenance and expert technician support.

Doug and Devin explain how 21st Century Equipment’s service teams have evolved to meet the needs of today’s connected machines. With more technology and data integrated into modern equipment, technicians now play a vital role in both mechanical repairs and precision ag support. Through advanced diagnostics, machine monitoring, and John Deere’s Expert Alerts, they can identify and address potential issues before they become major problems—saving customers valuable time, money, and frustration.

Throughout the discussion, the team shares real-world success stories demonstrating how proactive inspections and customer-focused service help maximize uptime and efficiency for every operation. Whether it’s a large tractor, combine, or small mower, the goal remains the same: to provide trusted, reliable support that helps farmers and landowners stay productive and confident in their equipment year-round.
