Insurance to protect farming operations
A margin-based program that protects Canadian producers against large declines in farming income due to production loss, increased costs, and market conditions. It generally covers 80% of eligible losses (90% for the 2025 program year) when the production margin falls more than 30% below the historical reference margin. The maximum payment limit is $3 million, temporarily doubled to $6 million for the 2025 program year. The program offers interim and targeted advance payments for early access to funds. Optional features, like tax-aligned reference margins and coverage notices, are available for producers in Manitoba, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, and Yukon.
