AgriRisk Initiatives Program Now Accepting Applications

The federal government has announced that the AgriRisk Initiatives Program will begin to accept new applications as of August 30, 2019.

 

“Canada's agricultural industry is vital to our economy yet our producers face challenges beyond our control," said Marie Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. "That is why I am pleased to be offering a program that can help producers develop new risk management tools that will help them meet these challenges.”

 

The program, which was renewed under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, supports the development of new risk management tools for the agriculture sector. It will prioritize proposals involving new financial tools allowing agricultural producers to manage a defined business risk. In addition, for minor and emerging agricultural sectors, support will be available for the development of risk assessments and educational tools to help producers manage risk.

John Deere Forage Harvester Walk Around | 2026 United States Custom Harvesters Convention

I recently attended the 2026 United States Custom Harvester Convention in Des Moines Iowa. All of the forage harvester manufacturers did a product walk around of their machines. I have already uploaded the Claas, Krone and New Holland product walk arounds and this is the final one for forage harvesters. I will soon be sharing all of the combine walk-arounds from the convention.
