Advance Payments Program now available

Western Canadian hog producers can now apply for up to $1 million, with the first $250,000 interest-free, through the Advance Payments Program.

The program is designed to help producers meet short-term financial obligations and covers those who own weaned piglets, feeder pigs, market hogs and breeding stock (gilts, sows and boars). Pigs already sent to slaughter are not eligible.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s (AAFC) Advance Payments Program, for hogs, is administered by the Manitoba Pork Credit Corporation.

Video: 5 Barns Setup For Winter Sheep Care In Canada

Today at Ewetopia Farms, we go on a tour of our five sheep barns that have recently been updated and reorganized for winter sheep care in Canada. Join us as we go through each barn to look at the pregnant Dorset and Suffolk ewes from both our first and second breedings, see where both the older and younger rams are now residing, and visit the new replacement ewe lamb barn as well. It's all the same barns, but setup differently for lambing, feeding and overall care over the winter months.
