I’m proud to share that our government is stepping up to support farmers through the AgriRecovery Forage Assistance Initiative, helping livestock producers cover costs like purchasing and transporting feed.

Farmers put food on our tables, support local jobs, and keep rural communities strong. When tough seasons hit, they deserve practical help they can count on. We’ll continue to stand with them and work with our partners to deliver real support when it’s needed most.

🎀🎄Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and aligned New Year in 2026!

This season is about community, care, and looking out for one another. We want to take a moment to recognize the farmers, farm workers, and farm families who keep food on our tables through every season. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.

If the holidays feel joyful, we hope you soak it in. If they feel heavy, know that support is here and help is within reach. Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, and no one should have to face challenges alone.

AgriCare is here for farmers and farm families across the province, offering free mental health and safety resources.
