Overview

Ontario farmers rely on business risk management (BRM) programs to manage and mitigate the impact of weather and other unavoidable variables farmers face in their businesses. Ontario farmers have access to BRM programs, funded in part by individual farmers and the government.

In Ontario, Agricorp delivers AgriStability, Production Insurance, and Ontario’s Risk Management Program (RMP). Ontario farmers may also be eligible for AgriInvest which is delivered by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

OFA Position

OFA fully supports the request for adequate and bankable risk management programming.
