Agriculture and Agri-Food

In question period on agriculture, Conservative MP Jeremy Patzer asked the minister to explain why test plots at Canada’s federal organic research station in Swift Current were reportedly ploughed under, which he said destroyed years of research in an $11-billion organic farming industry. Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald replied that the field work is routine and done every year, that research is important to the country, and that Canada’s more than 17 research stations will remain open.Written by AI from the debate.
