“The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) welcomes the federal government’s announcement that pasture‑related feed costs will be recognized as allowable expenses under AgriStability beginning in the 2026 program year. This announcement confirms the commitments announced by the Minister last fall.
“This improvement will make AgriStability more responsive for cattle producers who utilize rented pastureland. CCA will work closely with government to understand implementation details while continuing to advocate for additional program enhancements that bring program allowable expenses closer to what producers experience on the ground, especially in drought situations.
“As discussions begin on the Next Policy Framework, CCA will continue to advocate for a permanent increase to the AgriStability $3 million payment cap that has been in place since the program’s inception.”
