AgriStability and Hail Insurance deadlines approaching

Producers in Alberta are being urged to take note of several fast-approaching deadlines related to AgriStability and Hail Insurance programs administered by Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC). These programs are vital tools for managing risk and protecting farm income.

AgriStability

The AgriStability program, which provides income support when producers experience large margin declines, has two major deadlines on July 31, 2025:

  • Optional Reference Margin Methodology: This is the final day to select the optional reference margin methodology for the 2025 program year.
  • Enrollment and fees: Producers must enroll, pay fees (without penalty), or opt out of the program by this date.

Looking ahead, additional AgriStability deadlines include:

  • September 30, 2025: Last day to submit 2024 supplementary forms without penalty.

Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

Video: Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

In this episode, we’re sorting ewes into their breeding groups and introducing them to unrelated rams. Moving rams between barns always comes with challenges, but once the boys meet their ewes, everyone was eager to settle in!

We also welcome back a returning customer who purchased a Suffolk ram from us last year. This season, she chose a Dorset cross ram, now named Benny, to strengthen her flock’s genetics. It’s always rewarding to see repeat customers who value the quality of our breeding stock.

Arnie then tours the crop fields as harvest season approaches. Despite drought conditions this summer, the crops are looking surprisingly good. We close the day with evening feedings and one last look at the rams with their new breeding groups.

?? Join us daily for life on a working sheep farm, from flock management and breeding strategies to crops, chores, and the everyday rhythm of farm life.
