      History

      The Agricultural Education, Research and Special Services Division was established in 1977 within the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. It resulted from a merger of the former Agricultural Education and Research Division with the special services functions of the Marketing and Special Services Division.

      The division supervised the Milk Industry Branch, the Ontario Farm Products Inspection Branch, the Veterinary Services Branch, the Provincial Pesticides Residue Testing Laboratory, the Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario, the Ontario Agricultural Museum, and the Colleges of Agricultural Technology at Kemptville, New Liskeard, Centralia, and Ridgetown. The Assistant Deputy Minister of the Agricultural Education, Research and Special Services Division reported to the Deputy Minister.

      The division ceased to exist on April 1, 1982, and was replaced by the Education and Research Division.
