Additional Western Livestock Producers Eligible For Tax Relief

The Government of Canada has announced a final list of designated regions where tax deferrals have been authorized for 2014 due to the impact of drought or excessive moisture conditions on forage production.
 
Eligible producers will be able to defer income tax on the sale of their breeding livestock for one year in order to help replenish that stock in the following year.
 
Proceeds from deferred sales are then included as part of the producer's income in the next tax year, when those proceeds may be at least partially offset by the cost of replacing their breeding animals.

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
