New Entrant Quota Assistance Program

New Entrant Quota Assistance Program
 
Dairy Farmers of Ontario’s (DFO) New Entrant Quota Assistance Program is designed to assist those with an interest in dairy farming who may not otherwise have the financial means or opportunity to get started in the industry.
 
The P5 makes available 160 kilograms of quota per year for the program in Ontario.  Subject to DFO issuing a licence to produce and market milk and approving an order to issue quota, DFO will match 20 kilograms of quota to each successful applicant.
 
DFO has given priority access to 1 new entrant who plans on shipping organic milk.  As a result, there are only 7 positions available.

How Generations of Pig Farming Lead to Sustainable Solutions

Video: How Generations of Pig Farming Lead to Sustainable Solutions

Hog producers are taking their stewardship to the next level by finding new ways to manage manure that benefit both the environment and their operations. One approach is using slatted floors with an 8-foot pit. By storing manure in this system, and combining it with variable rate spreading, they're able to apply manure nutrients exactly where needed, improving crop production and reducing waste.

Minnesota pig farmer, Randy Spronk shares how this system has transformed his operation, allowing him to grow healthy crops for his herd while minimizing environmental impact. It's a solution he's proud of — one not that only benefits the land but also creates a lasting legacy he can pass down to his family and future generations.
