The Nova Scotia government is providing its $25,000 share of funding to the Maritime Beef Testing Station in Nappan, Cumberland Co., Agriculture Minister Brooke Taylor announced today, Sept. 27.
“We are providing the beef testing station with this funding to help them through this year,” said Mr. Taylor. “However, they need to work directly with the Nova Scotia Cattle Producers as they develop a strategy for the beef sector, which will determine the station’s role in the future.”
Board members of the Maritime Beef Testing Station met with agriculture department staff on Tuesday, Sept. 25, to talk about the funding and their participation in a longer term strategy.
“It is imperative that we make funding decisions that represent the needs and wants of the beef industry as a whole,” said Mr. Taylor.
