Huron Jersey farmers get $10, 275 jobsOntario grant A group of Huron County Jersey Producers has been granted $10,275 under jobsOntario Community Action to research the feasibility of marketing milk products made exclusively from Jersey milk and forming a Jersey milk co-op, Huron MPP Paul Klopp announced April 28. "With support from jobsOntario Community Action, this group of local Jersey producers will be able to explore and develop the potential of this niche market for value- added agricultural products," said Mr. Klopp, Parliamentary Assistant to Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Elmer Buchanan. "The results of this initiative will also provide valuable groundwork for other commodities undertaking similar ventures." The concentration of milk components varies from breed to breed of dairy cattle. Most milk and dairy products are made using a combination of milk from different breeds of cattle including Jersey milk. Jersey milk has the highest concentration of nutritional components, specifically protein and fat. The study will be carried out al the University of Western Ontario. Researchers will determine possibilities for product develop­ ment and marketing strategics, assess consumer needs for Jersey milk products as well as the need for co-op, evaluate costs associated with each product, and establish networks with other businesses in both the promotion and production of agricultural products. "The study itself will create short term employment for those carrying out the rcsca/ch while long term new jobs would result from the production of Jersey products as well as the development of the co-op," said Mr. Klopp. This initiative is being funded in partnership with the producer group and Community Futures, a feder­ ally sponsored program of Human Resources Development Canada designed to enhance economic development and job creation. jobsOntario Community Action is $300-million component of Jobs Ontario. Other components include training, youth summer employment, housing and capital construction.
