Western Canadian agricultural producers can apply now for a fall FarmCash advance of up to $1 million on field crops, honey or livestock to help them grow

Prior to the long weekend, the FarmCash cash advance program opened fall applications, allowing agricultural producers to take advantage of marketing flexibility or kick-start planning for the next growing season’s commodity inputs. Producers can apply for up to $1 million and receive the first $350,000 interest-free.

FarmCash proudly offers producers the remainder of the advance at one of the lowest lending rates available across administrators, TD prime minus 0.75 per cent, to provide producers with further interest savings post-harvest and throughout the calendar year.

FarmCash is available on more than grain and other field crops. Commodities eligible for an advance under the program also include honey and many types of livestock to support the long-term profitability of western Canadian agricultural producers.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
