Government Cash Offered for New Technology

The Farm Technology Program is accepting applications to support adoption of technology to minimize waste, optimize efficiency, and encourage adoption of best management practices in farm security.

This 50-50 cost-share program provides incentives on new technologies that are commercially available and already demonstrated under Alberta conditions. Two streams are available.

The Farm Technology stream offers up to $48,000 per applicant for items such as digital sensors for input application, wands and panel readers for electronic livestock ID tags, and devices that boost internet coverage.

The Farm Security stream offers up to $2,000 per applicant for items such as GPS equipment trackers and remote monitoring cameras.
