"We have our own internal database of programs in the Prairie provinces. And I think we're at 67 that we've identified,"
"It becomes a full-time job just trying to track what these programs are and what they mean for your own farm."
"Most of these are rebates,"
"never a guarantee."
A southern Saskatchewan crop solutions company maintains an internal database that has identified 67 incentive programs in the Prairie provinces. Farmers encounter a large volume of sustainability and regenerative agriculture programs that create administrative complexity, data-reporting burdens, and multiple relationship requirements. Most public programs function as rebates and often require farmers to carry costs up front while funding is not guaranteed. Questions exist about program effectiveness and whether proceeds benefit farmers or are captured by input suppliers. Private-sector programs from companies such as PepsiCo and General Mills have scaled successfully, while few major new launches have appeared recently. Major government-funded programs are set to end in March.
