Improve the farm and get money and training to do it

Funding for farmers under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership opens up soon and farmers need to get in early as the money is doled out first-come, first-served.

The five-year federal provincial partnership offers funding for farmers and other businesses to cost-share on dozens of programs and projects to improve the farm, including introducing cover crops or switching to no-till. Or you can improve yourself through business management training.

A farm could be eligible for thousands of dollars when the next round of applications opens on January 8 and closes January 29. Get in early, because applications are processed until the money runs out.
