Funding for the Canada - Ontario Research and Development (CORD) pro- gram can be used for a number of initiatives to add value to farm produc- tion, explore new process- ing ventures and tap pre- viously unused resources of information or exper- tise. Bob Bedggood, chair of the Agricultural Adaption Council says, "This invest- ment provides a timely boost to move those ideas from where people are just thinking about them, to the point where they're putting the wheels in motion, bringing them closer to reality, and we need more of that in this province, and across the country." Details about the CORD criteria and applications are available at www. adaptcouncil. org Funds from the CORD program are available until March 31, 2008.
