Alberta farmers watchful as AgriRecovery funds roll out
The province will supply about 40 percent of AgriRecovery funding, with 60 percent from Ottawa. Alberta estimates 16 million of a 42 million program cost, with 1.5 to 2 million acres affected. Farmers must self declare via AFSC to receive aid, with forms available this week online or at district offices. Prospects hinge on crop type and insurance overlap.
