Farmers are getting more breathing room at the start of the growing season. Ottawa has raised the interest-free limit under the Advance Payments Program from $100,000 to $250,000 for advances in 2026, giving producers up to $1 million in low-cost cash flow. The change is expected to save participating producers an average of $4,340 each.

A little late CCA. After beef industry threw themselves on the floor and had a fit.

Would definitely want the producers to make the decisions!!

With Carney's new focus on methane could taxing cows be far behind.

Proposed regulations need to be scrapped completely and the other provinces need to catch up to what sask and Alberta has. Our system has proven effective many times and if CFIA really cares about speeding things up to get the border open sooner they will start by dealing with their own incompetence that drags everything out after the traceback has been done
