Of the 3.7-million dollars invested into Northeastern Ontario farmers close to $2-million will be coming to the Temiskaming-Cochrane area. The funding provided will help farmers clear land and install tile drainage. Temiskaming-Cochrane MP, John Vanthof says that any farmer is eligible to receive up to 500 dollars per acre as long as they are inspected and approved. Â Vanthof says that tile drainage has a huge impact on local farms in Northeastern Ontario and installing it could help double the productivity.
