Brockton's agricultural lands are capable of producing high quality crops. Great care must be taken to sustain these lands for future generations and to protect our surrounding streams, rivers and ground water sources.
Stewardship is the most effective way we have to protect the future health of our land and community.
The following programs are available to help you be the best steward of the land you farm:
- Alternative Land Use Services (ALUS) Program
ALUS pays farmers to retain and reconstruct natural areas such as wetlands, grasslands, riparian areas and trees. - Canada Ontario Environmental Farm Plan
- Energy Conservation on the Farm
- Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program
- Nutrient Management Planning
- OMAFRA Sustainable Agriculture Information
