Federal Government Wants Answer On AgriStability Proposal

It has been just over 110 days since the federal government made the offer to the provinces to improve AgriStability and are now asking for a clear indication from the three Prairie provinces whether they will sign on or not.
 
On November 27, 2020, the federal government proposed to eliminate the reference margin limit and boost the compensation rate to 80%.
 
At the request of Prairie Ministers, the federal government says it will convene a further federal-provincial-territorial meeting, asking the provincial ministers to bring an answer to the meeting.
 
The deadline to enroll in AgriStability this coming year is April 30, 2021.

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
