Canadian Canola Growers Association Wants Limit Increase On Cash Advance Program

 
Bill C-49 needs to be amended and passed by the Senate as soon as possible.
 
That from Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) CEO Rick White, who spoke earlier this week at an emergency meeting hosted by the House of Commons Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food.
 
CCGA had a suggestion for the federal government.
 
"One of the solutions that we put forward on behalf of farmers was to have the government consider expanding the limit on the Cash Advance Program from $400,000 to $800,000, just as an assurance to make sure that farmers at least have credit available should this problem continue and they're not able to ship grain, they're not able to get paid," said White. "We don't want to turn this into a cash flow problem for farmers."

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
