The Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture and Perennia have
launched the Weather Station Assistance Program.
The objective of the Farm Weather Station Program is two-fold: to
encourage producers to install weather stations and adopt new
technology tools; and fully utilize the data to make proactive
management decisions to mitigate the impacts of climate change and
adverse weather conditions.
Funding is open to eligible applicants at 30-70 percent subsidy
levels.
DEADLINES: This
program is open until July
30, 2021
PROGRAM GUIDELINES
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
This program is administered by the Nova Scotia Department of
Agriculture and is funded under the federal-provincial Canadian
Agricultural Partnership Program.
Perennia will be working with applied applicants to implement the
program, including providing the weather station and coordinating the
installation. As of the launch of the
program, Perennia is completing the competitive bidding
process to select the weather station supported under the
Program.
As soon as the model is selected, information will be shared at https://www.perennia.ca/weatherstations/ and
via other channels.
