340 million dollars has been earmarked for Alberta Ranchers after this summer’s drought.
Livestock producers can apply for up to $200 per head through the 2021 Canada-Alberta Livestock Feed Assistance Initiative.
Alberta Ag Minister Devin Dreeshen says that “Alberta’s livestock producers have experienced exceedingly dry conditions for months, putting additional stress on the very Albertans who feed Canadian families. Alberta’s government is proud to support the delivery of up to $340 million in much-needed relief to help our livestock producers make it through this difficult season.”
The program is administered through the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation.  Once applications are approved and processed, those who sign up for direct deposit will see payments toward the end of the month.
