Following a recent federal-provincial-territorial meeting, new changes to Saskatchewan’s AgriStability program have been announced for the 2025 program year.
These changes aim to better support producers facing drought, rising costs, and global trade uncertainty.
"Now is the time for unity, and we are working together to deliver for producers right across the country to make sure our programs work for them," said Federal Minister Heath MacDonald and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison. "That is why, at our meeting last week, we agreed to make changes to AgriStability so that producers facing trade uncertainty and dry conditions have more protection.
Also for 2025 only, the maximum payment cap per operation is doubling from $3 million to $6 million. This change enhances financial protection for larger farming operations.
