The Quebec government announced it will spend $45 million to recruit and support Quebecers to go help farmers with fieldwork this harvest season, amid the COVID-19 crisis.

Premier François Legault made the funding announcement on Friday during his press conference, saying Quebec is working to become more autonomous in its food production and attempt to rely less on foreign imports.

Legault called on all laid-off Quebecers, students and anyone with an interest tin helping the province’s farmers. He said that in addition to the hourly wage paid to workers by the farmer, the government will give each worker an extra $100 per week as an incentive, so long as they work at least 25 hours per week.
