and on the Yukon Agriculture front...
When it comes to Agriculture, Archie's experience as a grocer in Watson Lake, Whitehorse and Old Crow means that he has real understanding of Yukon farmers and their problems in marketing their produce to fellow Yukoners.
With Archie's leadership, the Yukon has come up with a "Vision for Yukon Agriculture," as "an industry that significantly increases its production of healthy locally grown food for local consumption. This document describes the Yukon government’s policies and procedures for
agriculture in the Territory."
This report is 47 pages long, and follows a November 2005 report outlining "What we (the YTG) heard". Archie's Dept of Ag has arranged for Yukon farmers to have a mobile abbatoir , and has obtained the sort of regulations that make it easier for farmers to gain ownership of agricultural land. Also, Yukon farmers now have the ability to access Federal agricultural loans
programs.
The Dept of Agriculture has a website with news and information and forms you can download here.
