      Historique

      The Soils and Crops Branch was established in 1962 within the Ontario Department of Agriculture, replacing the Field Crops Branch. It formed part of the Production Division (1962-1966), the Services Division (1966) and the Production and Rural Development Division (1966- 1982).

      The Soils and Crops Branch was dissolved on April 1, 1982. The Plant Industry Branch took over the soil conservation and grower incentive programs, and the Agricultural Services Laboratory Branch assumed soil and seed testing.
