The Government of Canada announces expansion to AgriStability support to include pasture-related feed costs

Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
The latest episode of BC Food News, hosted by Jennifer English, provides updated on Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's recent changes to the AgriStability program to provide additional support for livestock producers. With rising feed costs, the federal, provincial, and territorial governments improved the program to factor in pasture-related feed costs beginning 2026. This adjustment ensures fairer support for farmers, particularly cow-calf, sheep, and goat farmers, who rely on rented pastureland for grazing. AgriStability is designed to safeguard producers against income drops due to production losses, cost increases, or poor market conditions. Links relevant to the episode, including social media platforms for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, can be found in the show notes.
