Navigating Crop Challenges in Alberta: What Farmers Need to Know
The farming landscape in Alberta is facing some hurdles in 2025. Extreme weather conditions, including intense heat and drought, have led to concerns among farmers about their crops. Thankfully, there’s some good news!
The Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) has stepped in with adjustments to the low yield allowance. This change means farmers can salvage their impacted crops for livestock feed. It’s a practical solution aimed at alleviating feed costs during such tough times.
If you're a producer, it’s essential to reach out to AFSC at least five days before you start harvesting. They’ll help you assess your situation and provide valuable guidance. This proactive approach can make a significant difference as you navigate these challenging conditions.
AFSC understands how tough this season has been for many producers and is here to offer support. Remember, every little bit counts when it comes to protecting your livelihoods!
