The University of Saskatchewan has received a combined $11.8M in funding for its Harrington Plant Growth Facility and Soil Science Field Facility. The funding—which is from a group of industry partners—will support the construction of these two new facilities. The Harrington Plant Growth Facility will provide spaces for breeding programs and pathology research, while the Soil Science Field Facility will feature facilities for plant threshing, plant processing, and more. Part of the Crop Science Field Lab is also undergoing renovation to provide the Crop Development Centre with additional workspace. “These new facilities will be instrumental in advancing critical agricultural research and will set the stage for addressing global challenges,” said USask President Peter Stoicheff.
