Risk management program deadline extended to June 30

Farmers now have until June 30 to enroll in AgriStability.

It’s the fourth year that the federal government has extended the deadline to sign up for the risk-management program. The original deadline was April 30.

Agriculture and Agri-food Canada encourages farmers to make use of the programs available to them. Agristability protects producers from large declines in their farming income caused by production loss, increased costs or market conditions.
