FedNor provides funds for northern agriculture

The Federal Government is investing in Northern Ontario's Agriculture industry.
FedNor Minister Tony Clement has announced nearly 365-thousand dollars in funding to help agri-food representatives from this Region attend the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto.
A Northern Ontario Pavilion will be set up at the 10-day event and 350-thousand consumers are expected to attend.
Last year, immediate and follow-up sales by Northern exhibitors were estimated at about 750-thousand dollars.
