rapeseed-gc45fff85e_1920

The Agriculture Industry is tasking a hit financially, but the Federal Government is trying to help out.

Two new boughts of money is being forwarded to the sector to help out farmers and producers, especially in the Peace Region, because of drought, and lack of moisture.

A few weeks ago, an initial list of regions, which included many in this area, were named that would qualify for the Livestock Tax Deferral Program.

Just recently, the country announced the introduction of over $370 million dollars to a new biofuel production incentive for canola and argiculture producers.

With many jurisdictions in the Northwest suffering and declaring Agriculture Disasters, more financial aid is being welcomed to try and allieviate the stress of the industry, as Harvest season is currently underway.

The Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-food, is the Honourable Heath McDonald.
