Show detail Hide detail

Canada. Dept. of Agriculture. Experimental Station (Fort Vermilion, Alta.) : The Fort Vermilion Experimental Station was established in the Peace River District of Alberta, near the Hudson's Bay Company fur trade post, in 1908. Since that time staff at that Station have conducted experiments that focus primarily on the adaptation of technologies for this northern agricultural area. In recent years it has directed much of its attention toward research and development of technology for improved production systems for crops, honey bees and other pollinating insects adapted to environmental conditions in northwestern Canada. The Station is one of the most northerly agricultural research locations in the world. RG17 General Inventory
