AgriStability deadline extended as farmers face market uncertainty

May 20, 2025

Alberta’s farmers and ranchers are seeking ways to safeguard their operations amid market uncertainty and other pressures in the ag industry.

With that in mind, federal, provincial and territorial governments have extended the AgriStability enrolment deadline to July 31 for the 2025 program year. This extension allows producers more time to assess their risks and understand how AgriStability can assist in managing them.

AgriStability, a margin-based program, helps producers manage financial losses due to production loss, increased costs or changing market conditions.

“AgriStability is a comprehensive proactive risk management program, providing financial support when an operation has a sharp drop in their farming income,” explained Daniel Graham, Agriculture Financial Services (AFSC) manager of AgriStability and Pricing.

“Assistance is triggered when the operation’s current income is less than 70 per cent of the historical average, helping a farm maintain financial viability in times of uncertainty.”

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
