Plaque Text

Canada's experimental farms system was begun in 1886 by a federal government eager to introduce profitable new methods and products. It sought thereby to broaden Canada's agricultural frontiers, especially in the still sparsely settled North-West. Acquired in 1886, this Central Experimental Farm was the first of the original five. As the research headquarters of a vast network of experimental stations, it continues to specialize in food and agricultural research projects. In the heart of the city, it exhibits the progress in plant, livestock and agricultural technology.
