PFAA Payments Lift Grain Aid as Western farmers await cheque
Agriculture Minister Alvin announced PFAA payments for this year may exceed sixty thousand dollars, the highest since the Farm Assistance Act began in 1939. The program will start issuing cheques in December, with rates tied to cultivated acreage and wheat yield per acre, and total annual aid around public funds. The event followed a 50th anniversary gathering for the WMS and featured speakers from the local church groups and community collaborators.
