Important deadlines and updates

Applications for AgriStability – Deadline June 30, 2021

AgriStability is a federal-provincial program delivered by Agricultural Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) in Alberta to help farms with large margin declines caused by production loss, increased costs or market conditions. In March changes to the reference margins may impact the decision to enrol in the program. The deadline for enrolment has been extended to June 30, 2021. Now is a good time to have another look and see if the program can help your farming operation.
