Producers have enough to manage already – markets, weather, regulations, input costs and the day‑to‑day realities of running a farm or ranch. When questions come up, tracking down the right government contact or program information should not add to their workload. That is why the Government of Alberta operates 310‑FARM, an information and referral service designed to provide farmers, ranchers, ag businesses and rural residents a dependable first point of contact.
310‑FARM is staffed by resource agents who understand the agricultural landscape and can help callers navigate provincial programs, regulatory requirements and available supports. While the team does not have every answer, they specialize in connecting callers with the right people – whether that means transferring you to a subject‑matter expert, providing you with the details and a link to a specific program, or directing you to the right department or industry contact. The 310-FARM team will work to guide them toward the most appropriate resource, ensuring they are not left without direction.
310-FARM supports key agricultural programs, including the Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit, Premises Identification Program and the Farmers’ Advocate Office.
Resource agents can answer a wide range of inquiries, including:
- Programs and financial supports
- eligibility and applications for the Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit Program
- funding opportunities under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP)
- help navigating agriculture grant applications or checking application status
