Extension services returning to Kootenays

Farmers in our region will soon be able to access expert advice through a partnership with the three Kootenay regional districts and Columbia Basin Trust.

A contract has been signed with a company that offers extension services, which is advice on the ecology and science of farming.

The RDCK’s Sangita Sudan says it’s all about boosting the agricultural sector in our area.

Extension services to farmers used to be offered by the provincial government before 2001.

The RDCK is also working through the Central Kootenay food policy council to help farmers market their produce.
