Crop Insurance

Agriculture Financial Services (AFSC) provides crop insurance for annual and perennial crops as well as honey and bee overwintering.

Through the suite of options available, AFSC brings producers peace of mind by helping make risk-management decisions that fit the unique needs of each operation. Insurance is available to any producer who meets AFSC eligibility requirements. Applicants are required to provide legal, operational and financial information.

Crop Insurance in Alberta includes Agrilnsurance and is one component of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. This agreement is Canada’s and Alberta’s commitment to agriculture, and focuses on achieving results, reflects input from across the sector, and strives to deliver programs that are responsive to the needs of producers.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
