The 845-acre Kapuskasing Experimental Farm was "disposed of", just as: Upton Farm in Prince Edward Island, the Vegreville Research Farm near Edmonton, Alberta, Gamelin Virus Laboratory in Gatineau,the Delhi Research Farm, Alberta's Fort Vermilion Farm, and the Cereal Research Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba were sold.
All the Kapuskasing Experimental Farm livestock was sold to a nearly Mennonite colony, and the land was bought by the town.
The federal government received $555,000 for Alberta's Fort Vermilion Experimental Farm during the year 2014. Pretty soon, Agriculture and Agri-food Canada will be delisted from the Federal Directory of Real Property website. The CBC has already been delisted.
