Grain Farmers of Ontario reviewing federal subsidies



Grain Farmers of Ontario has received funding from a federal-provincial program to research improvements to their business risk management programs.

It appears that the focus is on improving AgriStability in the event of a price drop of 15 to 30 per cent.

Grain Farmers of Ontario has been asked to develop several options and to canvass about 1,000 members for their opinions on the options.

After that it will test the choices to see how they would have performed had they been in place in the past, drawing on data for production and market experiences.
